the Switchblade ....

U.S. Troops Will Soon Get Tiny Kamikaze Drone




AeroVironment calls its teeny-tiny killer drone the Switchblade. Essentially a guided missile small enough to fit in a backback and fire at a single foe, it might be the kind of blade U.S. troops soon bring to a gunfight with Afghan insurgents. [Wired]

Okay then ... but if the Japanese are selling to us ... . I'm just saying.

A straightforward development, but wait until someone steals a truckload of them.

Rodger, I looked don't see those listed on Cheaper than Dirt. Sportsman's Guide, Midway, Brownells or Cabela's websites... Do we have to wait until the are on the shelves at SAM's club?

Why not come up with more ways to kill someone. You know it's just a matter of time until street gangs or terrorists get their hands on some. Good planning for whoever came up with this.

I saw a one legged Muslim with no arms at the ATM today, he asked me to check his balance so I pushed him over. Was that wrong?

You are absolutely correct, RAK.

We need to dust off to orbit, and nuke Dar Al Islam. That way, there will not be any of these folks left to shoot back at us.

It's the only way to be sure.

And it's very environmentally friendly. It prevents lead poisoning for the launching troops.

jmcd; lighten up, I was being Sarcastic, as usual.Until I can cyberneticly wrap my fingers around their throats and shake some common sense into them , it's my only defense against morons like j adams. I think the weapon is much needed by our guys. Anything that will kill more of them, and making easier for us, is a good thing. Maybe you missed the story I told of Marines finding the bones and blood chit of one of their own hanging on a wind chime in a "Peaceful afghan Shepard's" house. Anything we can do to make our GI jobs easier is fine by me. Use Tactical nukes, and make em hurt so bad the survivors get sick just thinking about us.
