As an engineer that has designed these types of munitions there is a different philosophy used.

The weapon does not change the fact that targets are selected to be removed during war times. What can change is how precise those targets are taken out. When an advancement is made in technology like this one, the amount of civilian casualties that are caught in the cross fire are greatly reduced.

The expense put into war in modern days is almost exclusively towards reducing civilian damage instead of increasing damage in general. When was the last time that a first world country used the massively damaging weapons of nuclear, biological or chemical? That would be so much easier to take out a target, yet the civilian damage is massive.

Well, my point wasn't so much against weapons being developed to improve accuracy and reduce unintended casualties, but rather the video presentation, in particular the music, which is clearly selected to create as much of a "cool" factor as possible. I find the video fascinating, sure, but there's nothing cool about it, and I would upvote if it didn't have this music (or any music).

At least the oil barrels and the water tanks will soon fear us and stay in line.

Reminds me of this:
