Targeted Killing Lite: Inside the CIA’s New Drone Arsenal

Sorry for the high tech war porn...

"The video here shows a test launch of Scorpion, a thirty-five pound precision glide bomb developed by Lockheed Martin.... Scorpion uses a vicious warhead known as Battleaxe which “combines shaped-charge, fragmentation and enhanced blast in one compact package, and adds an extra bonus: it throws out fragments of reactive material which explode on impact, making it especially effective against unarmored vehicles and other soft targets. This type of explosive technology can make smaller munitions as effective as their bigger predecessors.”"
