Kit’s verdict? NOT a video of the attack.

Concur that vid was an AC-130. To be fair to the media, at least this one was actually in IRAQ and not some machinegun shoot in Kentucky.

Maybe this: AGM-114 R9X

Yeah, it was some variant of Hellfire, but not the flying ginsu. Not a thermobaric. Not a HEAT.

I’m thinking now some kind of basic HE warhead. Very little fragmentation, lots of blast, no crater. Very effective on humans. Turns internal organs and tissue to jello. Can leave larger intact pieces (like torsos) without shredding.

First I loved that y’all know about fighting. Now I love that y’all know about destruction. Interesting discussion.

There may be a lot of ladies on this thread but we’ve also got some kicka$$ men! And there are probably a few who CAN’T tell us what they know about weapons from above.
