iF YOU READ THE NAVAL INSTITUTE`S "PROCEEDINGS", you`ll see that this is the first step in developing UCAVs (Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles).

Quoted: Heard they put 'Hellfires' on 'em! Someone should come up with another missile, preferably antipersonnel, named the "Brimstone." [;)] |

Yeah, but it doesn't make any difference if someone somewhere lacks the sack to take that shot.
We had Mullah Omar the head of the Taliban identified and confirmed at a meeting, and someone in Washinton DC asked a [b]DAMNED JAG LAWYER[/B] if we could fire him up. Hand-wringing little fairies. This just goes to show how high up the feminization of the military has gone. |

Rik, funny you should say that! There actually is a missile named "Brimstone" in development - and yes, it is an offshoot of the "Hellfire." I think it might be some kind of vehicle based type, but I'm not sure.

A Maverick missile would work fine. Pop the top on any tank located.

OPSEC-
You can't post this stuff! Now the Talibanis (who don't even have running F'ing water but are of course logged onto AR-15.com 24/7 and using cute Vegophillia nic-names) will know what we have coming after them. Unless, oh, I get it, this is DISINFORMATION! They aren't really armed, but we want them to think they are so they'll run away instead of standing there and shooting them down! I give up. (no offense, just a rant). |

Mavericks are too heavy for the Predator UAV. The Brimstone version is a milimeter-wave fire & forget AT missile where the Hellfire is laser-designated which the Predator has as part of it's sensor suite. It's better for non-armored vehicle targets. The MMW targeting head wouldn't be able to lock onto certain targets.
