Why, according to the BBC news website 'The RAF are to start dropping laser guided concrete blocks on the Iraqis'?


WTF?

All becomes clear now, it is this story - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/mid...st/2919249.stm

But it appeared first on the front page, in the 'Latest' section that scrolls across the top, as RAF drop laser guided concrete blocks LOL

It is quite true about the concrete bombs. The whole point is that a 1,000 lb lump of congrete traveling at Mach 1 is going to do a great deal of damage to a precise target without too much destruction close by to the DZ. Being laser guided it can be extremely accurate of course.
