Tornadoes to drop 'concrete bombs' in Iraq - GoFuckYourself.com

theking · 04-04-2003, 10:42 PM

"Tornado jets are poised to use yet another different weapon in the war against Iraq ... concrete bombs.

The jets have already used high-tech weaponry such as the "bunker busting" cruise missile Storm Shadow, which cost £750,000 apiece and can pierce several feet of concrete.

The Tornado has a top speed of 1,452 mph

But now the crews operating over Iraq from the Ali Al Salem airbase in northern Kuwait are about to go to the opposite extreme and use "inert bombs".

These are basically blocks of concrete shaped as bombs and painted blue to identify them as non-explosive if they are discovered still intact after the war.

Great accuracy

But they will be laser-guided 1,000lb blocks of concrete, capable of destroying a tank or artillery piece, but without causing a devastating explosion that would put civilians at risk and shatter surrounding buildings."

Now that would be interesting to watch. 1000 pound piece of concrete smashing into something at 1k+ mph. Good stuff.

Sounds a lot more effective than the now infamous "sponge bomb" that the Polaks brought to the campaign.
