Re:US Army contracts"Looks like" drones. Build aircraft that appear to be regional commercial but have noboby on them except "plastic C4" people who are suicidal. I don't know if you have been reading about how Afghanistan has been a hard place to attack over the past 2400 years (no defeats) but up till now no one as tried an intense air assault. BTW Russia has a big bone to pick with them (bombing in 1999 killed 300, 50k soldiers killed in 80s war). bin Laden probably isn't there anymore but its still a hotbed for up and comers. I can see this incident bringing once vehement enemy superpowers together as allies. Sorry for ranting.
