In reply to the discussion: IAF Pilot calls off strike on Gaza target after spotting children nearby [View all]A Simple Game
(9,214 posts)Think about it, they send warning mortars onto the roof of the building before they bomb it or fire a missile into it? If mortars are that precise why waste money on a jet firing a missile or dropping a bomb? A mortar shell must be many multiple times cheaper and apparently just as precise.
As for the pilot seeing the children; don't they drop the bombs from too high or shoot the missile from too far away to even see people? Or do they make a dry pass first and if so don't they worry about surface to air missiles? I'm not sure does anyone have any expertise in this field?
And what good would warning notes do? Wouldn't that warn the people shooting the missiles along with the civilians? I think the warnings are more of a diversion than a true warning. Drop the flyers over here and bomb over there?
It all just sounds like obvious attempt for some good PR to me.
