P.S. I'm bored
How is this weapon called, captain?
It looks so small for something targeting ships.
Looks more like a short/medium range AAM or maybe something hunting radiating targets like a HARM or Shrike.
Predator instead of Predetor.
I asked if it was appropiate where you live

Spelling corrections in direct follow-up posts. Now, why does that give a strong feeling that Pipo isn't sitting too far away from Tamir :)
I was summoned, but refuse to comment in fear of a UAV strike (but I'm on the right side, unless there is something we don't know!). Maybe they can send out their UAVs to clash instead?

UAVs.
The Israelis 'pioneered' the UAVs and when the USA decided to get serious about them they had a plan.
A 3-point plan: Long-Range, Short-Range and Close-Range UAVs
They chose the Short-Range to set the standard for the LR and SR platforms. McDonnel Douglas vs Israeli Air Industries.
The fly-off competition was hands-down McDonnell Douglas' UAV system. (Best computer systems I've ever seen). But IAI won the $700M USD contract. "Known as foreign aid."
IAI turned around and purchased McDonnell Douglas equipment since it was way better. IAI had a little accident with one of their UAVs.
They launched it without any real brains, and it flew from [redacted] into the shores of Mexico. IAI asked the US navy to retrieve it.
The USN said "Nope: not our waters."
IAI Asked Mexico to retrieve it.
Mexico said "Yes, but you'll foot the bill."
Never say yes to that: Mexico charged too much and it went into litigation.
Meanwhile, the Bosnian war is kicking up in a bad way. The CIA needs a UAV, so they hire General Atomics to build an aircraft.
General Atomics builds the Predator, and they used MY stuff in it.
The Predator now establishes "The Standard" for UAVs. $700M in USD down the drain... well I'm sure IAI benefited.
McDonalds.
The McDonalds 'pioneered' the burgers and when the kids decided to get serious about them they had a plan.
A 3-point plan: Supersize-Range, Large-Range and Regular-Range burgers.
They chose the Large-Range to set the standard for the LR and SR platforms. Burger King vs McDonalds.
The flip-off competition was hands-down Burger King's burger system. (Best burger systems I've ever seen). But McDonalds won the $7 USD contract. "Known as minimum wage."
McDonalds turned around and purchased Burger King equipment since it was way better. McDonalds had a little accident with one of their burgers.
They launched it without any real meat, and it fried from [mechanically rendered] into the belly of America. McDonalds asked the US food administration to retrieve it.
The USFA said "Nope: not real food."
McDonalds asked America to retrieve it.
America said "Yes, but you'll foot the bill."
Never say yes to that: America charged too much and it went into litigation.
Meanwhile, the Burger war is kicking up in a bad way. The CIA needs a McDonalds, so they hire Admiral Beefsteak to build a mincer.
Admiral Beefsteak builds Arnie, and he used MY stuff in it.
Arnie now establishes "The Standard" for burgers. $7 in USD down the drain... well I'm sure America benefited.
Burgers. The cornerstone of a good conspiracy. -- George Bush, circa one of his better days.
This just gets weirder and weirder.
Ok, you've rumbled me. I admit everything.
You are hopeless and not very funny, sardinovich.
Sardinovich. I'd trademark that immediately if I were you - I'm convinced it could be the snack of the future.
Sick of liberal extremists? Want to banish those republican blues? Eat Sardinovich and let the reds under the bed out. They're invincible!
Speaking of the Predator: I read a while ago that its satellite video uploads were available (until recently) to commercial software packages (connected to the right antenna of course...) that were used by the insurgents in Afghanistan and Pakistan, because the video stream was not encoded. Hopefully that was not your stuff, Vince ;-)
sure, there,evidently is no way to make you do what's asked or say "NO" instead of asking someone to do stupid fish tricks.
Hm, I wonder whether a can of sardines would count as "fish".
What were you trying to make me do?
Yes, a can of sardines would count as fish. If you believe some people there may be alternate universes in multidimensional space-time where (or would that be 'when'?) a can of sardines would not count as fish, but for one I'll stick with what is, as far as I can tell, here and now.
What it wouldn't count as, though, is 'a fish', what with it being 'a can'.
