+dtmdragon 2,751 Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) A bit morbid I know, but from a tactical point of view what type of aircraft and ordnance do you think the IDF/ IAF use when targeting vehicles such as the one the chief of Hamas' military wing was killed in? http://edition.cnn.c...html?hpt=imi_c1 Edited November 15, 2012 by dtmdragon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B52STRATO 215 Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) May it was with an LGB ? Anyway, the elimination of the escorting convoys of vehicles and the one who carrying the Yassin sheik (some years ago), I think it was a "Apache / Hellfire" duet. Edit: I had not yet seen the new images, it is indeed an airstrike. Edited November 15, 2012 by B52STRATO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast 153 Posted November 15, 2012 Was not an LGB as there would have been a lot more collateral damage... even with a 250lb variant... so your looking at Apache with Spike or Hellfire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SayethWhaaaa 255 Posted November 15, 2012 It was being reported as drone strikes, here, but now they're just saying airstrikes due to the follow hits... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B52STRATO 215 Posted November 15, 2012 Perhaps we can consider the use of a GBU-39 ? But the accuracy of the GPS guidance is still too low for a strike in a so densely populated area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JediMaster 451 Posted November 15, 2012 I can tell you one thing...if Leon Panetta, Donald Rumsfeld, or Robert McNamara had been killed in an airstrike, you would NOT see me bawling in the streets about it. Is everyone over there bipolar or something? They're like inverse Vulcans...instead of suppressing their emotions, they overdo it like William Shatner no matter what they're feeling.
