I've noted the odd lack of scorch marks on the car. You would've thunk a Hellfire would have made one hell of a fire. Maybe the explosion was so big it blew the flames out.

It is a new missile they just developed. It is like a hellfire but you can target a single human target instead of a tank.
It has most of the explosives removed for more electronics. It is fiber-optic wire guided similar to a tow.
They can target one person in a crowd and pick him off without killing everyone, they are even trying to make it better.
I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see this technology used for our own friend Sadr in Iraq.
That would be sweet.

I saw one clip where there pretty intense flames. The fire must have been extinguished early on though because that guy was crawling all over it in flipflops. if it was hot he couldn't have done that.
