I saw a vid clip on TV last night, where it looked like a whole ridge line exploded at the same time and couldn't figure out how we managed that; they then said it was cluster bombs, but I still had trouble believing it as there was no perceptible delay from one end to the other, it all seemed to happen at once. Looks like our technology is cranking...

That was not a cluster bomb strike.

That was a coordinated time to target strike by artillery. The time to target is coordinated so that all the shells arrive at the same instant.

This was the one with the three guys walking from right to left at the bottom of the ridge who went flat when it hit, right?

I saw that, too. I *just missed* getting a video capture of it.

This munition distributes miniature anti tank devices on parachutes. They orient themselves towards armored vehicles and destroy them from above. They use the shaped charge technique and are devastating to massed armor.

I saw that clip too. What was fascinating was the reaction of 3 people walking along the ridge: one second, they are walking along, it's a nice sunny day, gee the wall there looks a little dry and then WHAMMO the ridge and building just go up in a column of dark gray smoke. The 3 people hit the deck and it seems that they were not hurt at all.
