Re: A few photo's
Thanks for the info both.

But will this top the Yanks from bombing our troops on the ground?

Target aquisition? ok so it can see a convoy moving on the ground from 50,000 feet...but who's convoy?

I don't think there will ever be anything as good as human eyeballs on the ground in a fwd O.P. for target aquisition...

but maybe I'm biased

It should certainly help the Yanks get the correct targets,well if the use the information correctly.Knowing the Yanks though,they'll just go in gungho anyway.
