>> The Hellfire II weighs 106 pounds, carries a 9 kg (20 pound) warhead and has a range of 8,000 meters.

5 miles. Impressive power for something that light.

When I drive through the Eglin AFB reservation, I always see a sign and arrow which says “Hellfire Test Range”.

For some reason that wording always seems amusing.

I wonder if the recent hit on a Hezbollah munitions cache was done by a drone and missile?

The location apparently was under drone surveillance before and after the explosion.
