[edit] UAV delivery

I think some version of the missile has been adapted to fire from the Predator UAV for use against mobile targets in Afghanistan. Could someone knowledgeable about this update the article? Missile-carrying UAV's that stay in the air for days at a time are a significant development.

I have never edited an article before but I think the best way to do so would be to include a line, "See RQ-1 Predator". The Predator UAV article goes in depth already about the fire control system that actually designates targets for the hellfire. It is well explained that the missile is a laser beam riding type and will home regardless of a moving or stationary target; as long as the beam is trained the seeker will impact the point of reflection. It's really pretty dope.

Seems this is covered in the article now. I added UAV mention to the feature table too. --Wernher 03:38, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Israel removing Warhead

There is a section about how Israel uses this weapon and removes the warhead for less collateral damage, but there is no source of this claim. In fact i haven't been able to find any real evidence other than blogs.

I'm gonna put a source needed by this statement, and hopefully someone will fix it.64.173.240.130 00:13, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

The section should be rewritten. "Israel" did not remove the warhead, IDF air force technicians did. Michagal 13:44, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
