Does the reaper have its own laser designator?
Also how accurate is the reaper with Hellfires and Paveways in practice?
I've read the Paveway has a CEP of a few metres at most, but surely it's not that accurate in real combat situations.

Nice try Mohammed.
why would a literal robot be less accurate in combat situations? not like the operator is in danger.

>Does the reaper have its own laser designator?
Of course; it's built into the EO turret.

Why wouldn't it be? It's not as if the presence of enemies is going to suddenly cause immense winds that blow the bomb off course.

Yes it does, but it can also have targets painted for it as well.

They're precision munitions, barring some incredible gust of wind or system malfunction, they're practically pinpoint accurate.
This thing shoots missiles that were designed to take out a tank. MICs taking their sweet time making something more cost effective.

You're implying the same hellfire that comes off a reapers rail is the same model that is supposed to be hunting tanks.
And what is the Griffin anon?

I don't think leaving out the shaped charge liner would have all that big a difference on the price tag.

You shut your treacherous goddamned mouths. Nobody needs to know about that shit.

Ok

The phrase 'neither confirm nor deny' wasn't invented solely to make journalists unhappy.
>>35057196
the clip you linked isn't even a hellfire, that's a SPIKE ER

I have never heard of this let me look it up. The hell fire that a predator fires is like 20k. You could launch a smaller drone with explosives to seek out jihad guy very cost effectively. This only works for COIN obviously. Thats my whole point is that a cheaper solution for drones to kill insurgencies is needed.

It's Brimstone
>>35060377
No it's not, that clip clearly isn't showing laser or active radar guidance that the brimstone uses. Watch the whole clip, the missile is fired from the ground and controlled directly the entire time. It's a Spike.

You're absolutely retarded
