What a joke! Useless gimmick.
That thing was born from a government bid some weapons designer got to play with.
Park it next to the M28/M29 Davy Crockett Nuclear Weapon System.

The only problem of course is getting that sniper to agree to being strapped to a drone for 8 hours waiting for the target to appear.
We spend incredible amounts of money trying to limit the number of people we kill. This is basically a lump of steel with brush cutters attached to cut through unarmored vehicles and structures, specifically designed to limit the kill radius to under 10 or so feet.
It is not a scary weapon.
It is a PC weapon and as you point out, an expensive one at that.
Some reports say that it has been used 6 times. That is $ 4.2 million (plus development costs) to not kill a few people that apparently through no fault of their own are in close proximity to a high value terrorist target. IMO, if you are within 20 feet of the leader of a terrorist group, there is a good chance you are in on it.0 -

Every time someone considers cost of weapons and wars today, I wonder if they still remember DEMOCRAT LBJ and his RVN campaign. 0 -
$700,000 to take out one guy, if it doesn't miss? Your tax dollars at work from the people who brought you $400 toilet seats. 0 -

That's why LBJ stole the funds from what was our Social Security and move the money to general funds so that he could burn it up.0 -
I may be off base . but i think the cost of just for one strike counting the planning material and so on . post a add on CL cash no tax we will pay you 2.5 million ( or 1/2 what eve the cost of the mission was going to be ) provide transpiration in and out you take out the bad guy all the beer you can drink tossed in bonus for any others in the way
or offer a full pardon to prisoners the deal take out---- fill in the blanks - with in a month / or week uncle sam provide transportation in and out if
if you live you will get a a huge cash no tax dollar amount and a clean rap sheet . mess up your dead or least going back to jail
I would bet the two two jumped the draw bridge would have sighed up :shock: :shock:0
