This one has some uses. Can you imagine what the Russians could have done with Viper Strike at Beslan? More dead jihadis, fewer dead children.

Precision-guided MLRS rounds made Tal Afar into a disaster for the Jackass Zarquawi jihadis this year. This would mean you'd have to have your hostages in the same room with you, even if you're profaned by being with a woman, Ahmed, because if you don't, Mr. Viper Strike will pay a call.

But its cannons aren't quite good enough at avoiding collateral damage.

If you don't want to risk becoming collateral damage, don't allow the terrorsts to set up shop in your neighborhood.

the most lethal aircraft in the Air Force inventory.

I think that title still belongs to a BUFF with a belly full of B-61's.
