Invisible Death From Above!

Witness the raw might of the US military. We can swat Iraqis with depleted uranium shells from 6 miles above the surface and other than the massive explosions, you cant even tell its there!

The graphics kinda suck, but that DOES look like a reasonably fun video game. You gotta link so I can download it?

lol wut.

They operate closer to four miles above the surface, are incredibly slow, and fairly loud, which is why they're painted black, and only fly at night under fast air assistance. Fyi.

That said, they are p badass examples of warfare engineering.

SmokeaJoint · 07-28-2010, 10:33 AM

I said six because its 30,000 ft, I guess I rounded the mile down to 5,000. That high up, noise and visibility are a non issue, but with radar...idk nothing is perfect right?

Flamingnun · 07-28-2010, 10:48 AM

It's not 30,000ft though, it's 22-24,000. Sometimes lower.

SmokeaJoint · 07-28-2010, 10:49 AM

Well then I stand corrected.

Flamingnun · 07-28-2010, 11:01 AM

Indeed. Also, for what it's worth, the video you linked is in Afghanistan, so not overly relevant to "swatting Iraqi's".

They look teh sex, from the ground. Least you'll see something cool right before you see nothing at all.

Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, truly the only difference in there places is the name. Its all desert and terrorists to me. Blame the media for my ignorance.

Flamingnun · 07-28-2010, 11:19 AM

You good sir, are an idiot.

SmokeaJoint · 07-28-2010, 11:23 AM

You, good sir, are absolutely correct. By the way ( and this may be because my computer speakers are shot) how do you know its Afghanistan? It sure doesn't say it anywhere in text.

Flamingnun · 07-28-2010, 11:33 AM

It's an old video, there's nowhere mentioning the exact location, but most places suggest Afghanistan in 2002-3.

SmokeaJoint · 07-28-2010, 11:37 AM

Ok then, get off me. Come back with conclusive proof that: 1. Im an idiot. and 2. Its Afghanistan. A terrorist is a terrorist, no matter their country of origin.

The Rev · 07-28-2010, 11:53 AM

We should retrofit those planes so that, instead of dropping bombs, they dump millions of those ads for massage parlors and whores that get handed out on the strip in Vegas.

It would teach them to love the United States, instead of hate us. Winning of hearts and minds, you know.

Thats spamming of the highest degree right there.

Huh. Guess I can't deny when its staring me in the face.

SmokeaJoint · 07-28-2010, 04:00 PM

I've done it before lol. Nothing happened.

SmokeaJoint · 07-28-2010, 04:10 PM

I used to work with a whole group of them. Calling them Iraqi (they were Iranian) is like calling a person from Georgia a Texan. All that happens is you get corrected. However, don't call any middle easter person a terrorist. My buddies Omid and Payam jumped this dude at my old high school, kicked him in the head so hard he had a Gran Mal seizure.
