Wow watch the manuver a guided bom makes to take out Taliban

Recent IR video shows munitions taking out Taliban targets. However at about the 30 second mark you see a bunch of them run into some sort of shelter, a bomb drops away from them then right before it hits the ground it pulls up and hits them horizontally. Its brutally impressive.



The War Zone speculates that it may be a GBU-44 Viper Strike dropped by an AC-130

I can't say I like it... but yeah, there's a move to start running glide bombs off of Spectre/Puff... especially some of the newer small warhead glide bombs.

That was crazy..cockroaches check in, but they don't check out

Awesome.

I'm sure that the expectation was worse than the boom!

Wouldn't that be torture?

Knowing u r gonna get blown up?

Then getting blown the f'k up?

I think the UN should get involved.

S&F not only for the remarkable video , but also for the mere mention of an AC130 gunship

You only know if it is one that is meant to miss ya....
Just like used to be said for an A-10
If you hear it fly over , you are going to be just fine....

Brutal

but Good!

Bye Bye asswipes

Damn. An A-10. That's gotta be a HELL of a bad-ass horse to wrap your thighs around.

That IR shot is mighty impressive, though, I have to admit.

Wow! Maybe it's an illusion, but that sure doesn't look like its gliding. Looks like it stops on a dime and changes direction. Wouldn't be suprised if this is something we dont know about. Article says it appears capsule shaped and doesn't have a heat signature. Maybe it's a "tic-tac".

Looks like it stops on a dime and changes direction.

The part of the trajectory in the turn was off the screen. That was speculation maybe?

If you really want to terrify a person, put a whistle on the bomb, and a siren on the aircraft, ask any refugee from 1940's france.

I think one of those missiles went right through the top of a jihadis head and split him in half

Beautiful
