Just seen some video footage of RAF aircraft dropping bombs in Iraq on the BBC. They hit a hiluex sized vechial and nothing else. A very presice hit indeed. Anyone know what the RAF are dropping that's that accurate?

Missiles especially ones you want to either go a long way or hit what you are targeting tend to be pricey.

Cheap option would be a UAV (drone) with some 2.7 inch rockets.

Hmm the explosion was too small for a hellfire or derived missile I think. They tend to make quite a mess. It also most looked like an inert round hitting the truck as there was very little (read no) splash damage or real curator left behind!

Forgot about the 70mm laser guide rockets that can be used to offer 4x's the capacity of hellfire's. Could be a tungsten leaser rocket.

What the rest of you think?
