Germany tested an air-launched an anti-ship UAV / guided missile in WWII.
"You tell 'em I'm coming and Hellfire is coming with me!"
The explosion caught on the CCTV looked relatively small, so I think it may have been the Ninja or some other smaller missile.
AGM-114 Hellfire II Missile
"Hellfire is propelled by a single stage solid propellant Thiokol TX-657 solid-fuel rocket motor. The motor can generate 10 Gs of initial thrust. The missile has a maximum velocity of 950 mph."
Even the author at the "Army Technology" page doesn't understand units. Thrust is measured in lbf and acceleration is measured in Gs.
Lol
"Oh, shiite!"
I suspe t Solimani was under the mistaken impression that all Americans were like Obama and did not believe that Trump could be a man. There is a large bias in the Muslim world that their god has their enemies under control in a blanket of fear. His open travel is a statement that America is afraid to act.
We like they often make the mistake of judging others by our standards. The Ishmael mindset is a strange dichotomy between fear and rage. The dials are all set to 11. The turmoil within the Jihadi right now must be near typhoon intensity. On one hand, rage at a hero of Islams untimely, on another fear at why their god let him die. Just what is allah saying here?!
Over all is a highly suppressed panic that somehow it is all going south, that allah is signaling their end and their flavor of Islam is found wanting. The drums of doom pound like a migraine, driving them into reckless action.
Probably took out airport radar with a HARM missile first.
Just kidding.
Guess he feared The Reaper!
All it needs is more cowbell!
There’s a Trump tweet that could punch a hard one: John Kerry’s Thursday lunch appointment with Gen Suleimani has been cancelled.
>> One more reason why Trump is so effective in killing these vipers - he doesnt tell the Democrats/Left who will leak/tip off our enemies.
I am absolutely convinced one of Obamas NSC goons tried to tip off Soleimani via The NY Times.

Westerners often misunderstand how greatly Islam warps cognitive processes. I still am often surprised by it, even though I have experienced the phenomenon for decades.
We should name the next one Azrael.
Heck, I remember the Germans designing/prototyping a giant anti-battleship / infrastructure target shaped-charge warhead UAV based on the FW190 (!!) IIRC.
Here, was a FW-190 that would launch a JU88 full of explosives!

Azrael
A moderately high powered laser could 'paint' a visible image on the road ahead...
Trump? Azrael? for them same diff...
I would not object to him being advised of an imminent attack, with a classified FISA warrant for monitoring all of his means of communication for the next 24 hours.
It would be devastating for all the the turncoat actively enemy supporting AINOs to see on the evening news. Even if CNN doesn't cover it, google 'disappears' it, and YouTube and Twitter block it, news gets around.
Definitely a chilling effect on the rest of islam's high value spy network....
I likely wouldn’t have shown up on airport radar. A tricked up air defense radar with alert operators who were expecting a radar contact — different story.
“UAVs were invented by the Israelis.”
UAV’s — strictly speaking — have been around since the Wright Brothers. But yes, the IAF did a lot of the development work for military recon & decoys. They’re cheap and expendable and allow pilots to avoid some of the more dangerous job assignments.
No.
