That was a following car. Take a look at the dashboard-— three chunks of jaw with teeth are splayed on the middle dash.

The first shot on the driver of this car (who was not the nuke scientist) was from the driver rear panel window forward— and blew the dude’s jaw off. And two from the front for good measure.

The car the scientist was in was blown to smithereens and part of the hood and roof top can be seen about 100 yards in front of the follow car. The license plate in Farsi- does not id the follow car as the targets. Just a few observations.

Sooooo—sound like they had a ground team to take out the follow car- and one of them was blown away and the body dragged off (whole pile of person ketchup on the tarmac, and shattered bone/skull fragments as from a antipersonnel mine).

All they took back of Soleimani, from the Baghdad airport access road was a portion of his hand complete with identifying sapphire ring. That was all. Global Hawk drone and several missiles on target.

Another thought-— Saudis have their own Predator drones.

carried out from afar using a remote-controlled machine gun attached to a car,

The front and side photos of the car Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was supposedly traveling in showed a very tight placement of a few bullets on the windshield and none visible on the doors. Would seem incongruous with a drone-machine gun

... the entire operation was conducted with no human agents whatsoever, ...

SUVs are dangerous.

The Iranian first responders themselves would have opened that door to get to and remove the dead and injured so an open door means nothing.... though I think an extraction would be desirable in order to get information from him in order to plan future strikes. Then again, the Israelis already acquired the mother load of information in the warehouse raid a while back.

While Israel remained officially mum on the killing of Fakhrizadeh and its alleged role in it, an Israeli minister publicly praised the results of the operation.

“The assassination in Iran, whoever did it, it serves not only Israel, but the whole region and the world,” Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz told the Kan public broadcaster on Sunday.

In other words, there were guys on the ground who knew what they were doing.

If it was Mossad, they wouldn't have been so visible.

Guess that includes you, doesn’t it?

By the HARP #2 is sitting, lightly rusted at Yuma Proving Ground, all 120 feet of it.

I joked to my fellow experimenters that “all it would take is one Marine and some WD-40 and we’d have that puppy ready to go again”.

Agree, MOSSAD is to Surgical to have done a show like this. For that it would have been The IDF/IAF in F-16's or 15's or maybe those shiny new invisible F-35's.

I'm thinking the guy was trying to Defect. Either way the less of the crazy ragheadscum IMO the better.

Indeed. It’s more fun to speculate than to find out the mundane reality. Maybe he owed some very dangerous people a bunch of money, and the voice messages were a way to redirect attention from the fact that they decided he wasn’t ever going to pay them back, so whacked him just because they felt ill-used.

Re those guns, it’s actually pretty impressive what he did. Just a pity that neither Uncle Sam nor the Canucks found a use for his talents.

My 2 boys loved Breaking Bad and talked about Walter White. Me?...never saw it.

Did not know that. Thanks, John. Drones are good workers in the hive.

From what I hear, they stopped financing the HARP project because the war in Vietnam was taking all of the money. Bull tried to get backing for gun projects all over, working for a while for South Africa back when SA was a world pariah for apartheid, developing their own self-propelled version of the GHN-45 cannon.

Likely, it was his pursuit of money that took him to Saddam Hussein's gunpark.

Personally, if I got a call from somebody with an Israeli accent warning me not to work for one of their enemies, I'd pay attention.
