Re: Wuhan Coronavirus Resource Thread
Question to Hakim's : how effective is plasma transfer from a recovered patient to one who's is reeling under one? How far should the disease have progressed in order for the doctors to try this? Is it one of the initial lines of treatment? Plasma Transfer cannot treat #WuhanVirus infection. The End.

SPG cannot utilise 25 liter chamber, to overcome the recoil will need proper arty carriage or Vehicle so heavy it will need 2 engines to travel.Pratyush wrote:

Niran ji, full range firing recoil will not break the chassis. The chassis of MGS are stiffened and the recoil is transferred to the ground using hydraulic support that are usually directly linked to the gun pintel so as to not flex the chassis.
