  1. What happens if they lose lock and it drops?

    Come to think of it, is there debris from hits landing in cities?

    Just realised I’d never thought of it when this one drops so far before pulling that insane turn.

  2. I don’t fucking care what side of the conflict you are on: this is some fucking INCREDIBLE technology.

  3. You know I always wondered , why doesn’t US buy couple of iron dome systems from Israel ?? I mean we sell them planes, ammo , air defense systems etc., etc.

  4. That manuever almost always kills the Pilot Monkey. Poor little guys. They have no controls, but due to some asinine simian contracts they’re required to hire 1 monkey per rocket and outfit the guy with a window, a little leather helmet with cooling tubes, and a radio. They disable the transmit so they can just listen to the radio chatter, but they can’t scream in terror because they’re not required to give them ANY controls. Those high-g turns just smear one wall with very thin monkey-flavored paste.

  5. But why did it do that turn?

    Did it launch without being locked on to a target? If it was locked on to a target, why not fly directly towards it right away?
