Thousand-mile sniper shot

[Mtneer]

Detailed account of how Mossad killed the top Iranian nuclear scientist with a robotic FN machine gun. Fifteen rounds of 7.62 fired from a thousand miles away with great accuracy, using artificial intelligence to compensate for recoil.

Not to mention the correallis effect

[MrPrena]

IS that similar to the iraqi supergun concept?

Sounds like a Tom Clansey novel.

Not to mention the correallis effect

Isn't the correallis effect in Oregon?

[Irving]

If that's a spelling joke, yes.

Actual range from gun to target was probably under 100 yards. The trigger was pulled with live view and a 1.6 sec lag time for the aimed followup shots.

[Irving]

Oh, so less impressive than a drone strike.

Good ad for 5G

Article could have been titled "The Impossible Strike For A Drone" if you'd deign to read.

[Irving]

Well played...[ROFL1]

Oh, so less impressive than a drone strike.

Blowing up the entire vehicle would have been easy.

Killing the scientist and not his wife, who was literally inches away from him, and doing it all by remote control with a 1.6 second delay, is pretty damn impressive to me. [Dunno]

More proof the next wars will be robot technology controlled from outer space.
