Gives a whole new meaning to the term "getting plastered".

I vote for a bacon grease bomb, with pork rind shrapnel.

I'm still partial to the idea of a MOOREDAM screaming in from about 30,000 feet.

Any way one of these things would be accurate and maneuverable enough to be dropped on Mugabe's head?

Did Dunnigan post this on strategypage today? It was there about a month ago. If he's getting senile I need to kid him about it! ;-)

Hope the bombs were smothered in lard and then dropped.

There was no need to completely destroy the bridges (which might take months, or longer, to replace), because the terrorists were slowly being chased from the area

I just hate the idea of a bunch of terrorists only getting scared instead of dead. Real bombs leading to the approaches, cluster munitions, GATOR mine dispensers, napalm if we still had it.

Great. Like lobbing a $1.5M rock.

The first time I heard of this (using a concrete bomb), I immediately thought of the Roadrunner and Wiley E. Coyote

Pardon my ignorance, but can anyone tell me what happens on impact with a concrete bomb? They don't explode, so what do they do? Just shatter like a big rock?

Drop a rock, squash a bug.

I know a little bit about JDAM's and in my experience these dummy concrete ones were used for practice on the range. Interesting, you learn something new every day. I imagine these are being dropped mostly by B-52s?

Is there such a weapon as a precision guided, air-dropped, non-explosive spear? I once read a suggestion that such a device be used on enemy nuclear facilities.

Just too cool. Simple, but effective, I like.

Concrete bombs go way back to near WW2. Not used as weapons but for training purposes.
