SURELY the US Air Force could have found a
better target than this.
A small metal dinghy, capable of carrying
no more than a couple of people, was blown
to kingdom-come by a 900kg laser-guided
smart bomb by the US Air Force during a
routine weapons test in the Gulf of Mexico
recently.
The test was
allegedly to
ascertain the
effectiveness
of an aircraft
attacking a
“mobile sea
target”.
Needless to
say, and as the
before and
after photos
clearly show,
the US$24,000
bomb worked
to perfection
and absolutely
annihilated the
US$100 boat.
Thankfully, nobody in the boat was injured
in the test, according to online forums.
