So maintain a constant heading and speed and they'll miss

If we had a more secure forum, we could discuss the challenges of making this work in the real world. PM me if you have SIPR access, I can point you to the FAC/FIAC stuff we're currently using (if you feel like nerding out).

I thought it looked fake too, with all the pixellation around the bomb's tail fins, but apparently it's legit. Would have been more spectacular if it wasn't an inert bomb.

Iran, take note. They have developed much of their "navy" with coastal craft and small boat swarm tactics. No need for such a large bomb, a 500 lb bomb would be all that's needed.

One of those new 250lb with an air burst would do just fine.

Forgive me if someone already said this:

This has been going on for a while. I remember 9BS personnel out on Texas lakes with small watercraft. Good times!

Harpoon off a Buff even better. I don't see the big deal in this. Hardest part was getting a code 1 jet to deliver the goods.

Valid.

That said, nicely done. Just not sure if I enjoyed the picture more, or the opportunity to verify who the poseurs are in this forum.

Destroying a 10 foot skiff with a $200m bomber...definitely cool, but there are definitely cheaper ways...
