If no one cleans it up or otherwise messes with whats left then it will all be bones within a year.
[QUOTE=Bradyns;49885987]That's 'USDF' for "We guess that there may have been a large number of people at this training facility, so how about we saw 150?"[/QUOTE]
"150 is how many pieces we counted."
[QUOTE=l33tkill;49888460]They can also carry gbu12s, or 38s (500lbs) along with hellfires. (If it was an MQ-9 that did it)[/QUOTE]
I can't remember which drone it is, but we have one in service that can also carry GBU-10s and 27s.

If it was indeed used, then the kill count is fairly believable.
To clear up some confusion, the strike was carried out by drones [i]and[/i] manned aircraft. The source was probably updated to include that information after this thread was made.

Drones and satellites have made us pretty good at estimating troop concentrations. This isn't Vietnam, it's not hearsay from villagers or 'yeah I totally got ten charlies!' being used to determine casualty figures. The reporting [I]might[/I] be overly optimistic but I'd be shocked if they inflicted fewer than a hundred casualties given the circumstances.
Good thing that with todays technology we can kill them without even putting troops on the ground
I wonder how many were heavily injured, they still count as casualties too.

Yeah it looks like it. Took them a while to update it.
Jesus. Imagine being down there. Failed attempts at forming real military camps and shit like this shows why they resort to guerrilla warfare.

Makes more sense than a single drone going ham lol.

The only one I can think of is the X-47B. But I'm fairly certain that they haven't used them as a strike platform yet.
Still not one person said it?
Kinda sad.
Rest in Peace.
