Missile assault??

Forget it, he's rolling.

But I suppose a bomb could be considered a missile if it had forward motion but hey whado I know ??

[SpinnerWebb]

my first thought as well. Was coming here to post just that.

If you’ve never seen the movie “Idiocracy”... I swear we are living it today.

I won’t say that Daily Mail writers and editors are the worst, but they’re sure trying for the prize. I post for pictures and grind my teeth for the rest.

Don’t laugh. Those early 1940s air-to-sea missiles were devastating!

“Missile assault??”

UK paper, British terminology.

They define torpedos as:

“A cigar-shaped self-propelled underwater missile designed to be fired from a ship or submarine or dropped into the water from an aircraft and to explode on reaching a target.”

I was thinking the same thing.

Missile assault?

“Missile assault??”

Yes. When the Germans invaded Pearl Harbor.

[BenLurkin]

Werner Von Braun was behind the attack.

British English can be fun.

Missile assault??

Yeah, the Germans had that stuff.

Missile assault??

In British English, a "missile" is a thrown object. So I would guess dumb bombs and torpedoes both count.
