I'd settle for the audio!

When it was clear the individuals were placing a bomb, the Predator launched the 100-pound Hellfire missile, killing all three insurgents. You laugh too hard, you cry.

Too bad the DOD can't auction off the right to highest bidder to
launch the Hellfire via their home PC.
Of course, when prompted to do so by a DOD operator.
That might set an auction record on EBay.
Generally I'm against any of the contrived "canned hunts" for
wildlife.
But when it comes to blowing away monsters, this concept would work for me.

The Predator monitored the three terrorists for about a half hour while they used a pick ax to dig a hole in the road,Heh, heh,heh. Kind of like "dig your own grave and then die". Heh heh heh.

The funny thing is once the impacting Hellfire prolly set off the IED they planted.
