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.

So, is it basically a kinetic energy weapon? It just hits them so hard they crinkle?

You know, you just said what I've been thinking but it looks better in print. Get Al-Sadr with the same kind of missile that will blow just him away. I still remember when Israel sent a missile through the window of an office and blew up just the guy sitting at the desk, and no others (forget who it was now; too many targeted "assassinations" ago). Hope Israel allows us to get our hands on this missile system, like fast, so we can eliminate Al-Sadr quickly.
