Secret U.S. Missile Aims to Kill Only Terrorists, Not Nearby Civilians
The U.S. has developed a specially designed, secret missile for pinpoint airstrikes that kill terrorist leaders with no explosion, drastically reducing damage and minimizing the chances of civilian casualties, multiple current and former U.S. officials said.

The solid cannonball and "bar and chain shot" of the Napoleonic age has made a high tech comeback.
On a side and loosely related note, kinetic energy weapons may very well be the next major research front in air and space based warfare. Cue 'Rods From God'. At high enough velocities, projectiles can carry enough energy by mass alone that will put nuclear weapons to shame.

this is the problem, why fucking use a knife when a 2k lb GBU can take out 3 generations of terrorists and their friends.

My brother played Knock Knock, GBU game in Iraq. Quite funny how they did it though... lmao.
Well, you know the difference between a Taliban bunker and an Afghani schoolhouse?
Who cares, I just fly the drone!

Don’t be stoopid. Of course there’s fallout. They fallout da sky.
We (my customer and I) were just talking about this yesterday. Went something like "Well, so much for that fucking SAP weapon being a secret". Smh...
For those wondering why this type of weapon is such a big deal, and why a 2,000lb party favor isn't just as good. This one leaves DNA behind. Think about that....

And also, people all over the world are now quite familiar with traditional missiles that go kaboom. However, you now possess a new kind of payload, one that is so precise that it can home in on the target alone amongst a moving crowd or highway, and instantly give him a case of Spontaneous Human Detonation.........That adds a whole new level of fear to the enemy. Not only you are being watched from the sky now, they can hit you while you sit in the shitter or hot tub, and not destroy anything else around you. The psychological and morale impact of this kind of capability is astounding.
im too much a fan of carpet bombing to give this any remote chance of a thumbs up...
10s of thousands of dollars to fucking stab someone??? get a fucking grip
