Shouldn't all the loving wires lying around be a bit of a tipoff? Those should literally connect the boom to the launcher. Or are they jettisoned half a second before impact?

I don't think that post was referring to the shooter when talking about the people doing the dying.

Anyway, how big is the guide wire on those rounds? It ought to be getting hung up on something along the way right?

Tiny copper filament. It can snap and the missile will go crazy, but it usually has to snag on something for that to happen. They might even be using the wireless variants, much like our neighbors to the north.

If Abu Hajaar was involved it would have exploded on takeoff and maimed everyone in the area. This just needs improved munitions!

That looks like an estes rocket. If you're dropping it straight down from low altitude, don't bother with fins and poo poo, just cram as much explosive/shrapnel into it as your drone can lift.

I think that's the point where colloquialisms intersect with the "proper" English terminology. On one hand yeah "condensation cloud" is the best fit, on the other hand when I say "atmospheric lensing" in the context of a gently caress-off huge explosion people usually understand the meaning.
