Project Eldest Son: The CIA Plan To Make Enemy Guns Explode (Vietnam War Tales)

Описание: Why Vietnamese Soldiers Were Scared To Fire Their Own Rifles. The Exploding Ammo Sabotage (Declassified SOG Mission).

In 1967, the US military launched a top-secret sabotage operation code-named "Project Eldest Son". The goal was simple: destroy the enemy's trust in their own weapons.
Elite MACV-SOG teams infiltrated enemy supply lines and planted "spiked" ammunition—cartridges filled with high explosives instead of gunpowder. When fired, these rounds caused the rifles to explode, killing or maiming the shooter.
This is the true story of the most psychological and ruthless operation of the Vietnam War.
