| Heard on Fox news that the unmanned, remotely piloted Predator spy planes now have missiles fitted on them and will be used to strike targets. |

Yeah, but it doesn't make any difference if someone somewhere lacks the sack to take that shot. We had Mullah Omar the head of the Taliban identified and confirmed at a meeting, and someone in Washinton DC asked a [b]DAMNED JAG LAWYER[/B] if we could fire him up. Hand-wringing little fairies. This just goes to show how high up the feminization of the military has gone. |

OPSEC- You can't post this stuff! Now the Talibanis (who don't even have running F'ing water but are of course logged onto AR-15.com 24/7 and using cute Vegophillia nic-names) will know what we have coming after them. Unless, oh, I get it, this is DISINFORMATION! They aren't really armed, but we want them to think they are so they'll run away instead of standing there and shooting them down! I give up. (no offense, just a rant). |
| Mavericks are too heavy for the Predator UAV. The Brimstone version is a milimeter-wave fire & forget AT missile where the Hellfire is laser-designated which the Predator has as part of it's sensor suite. It's better for non-armored vehicle targets. The MMW targeting head wouldn't be able to lock onto certain targets. |
