Those things must have some kind of special targeting software to nail the target while moving several hundred miles/hour from 2 to 3 miles high above the ground. Impressive. Thanks again.
They have been doing that since Vietnam without the use of special software...

Fact. The first versions of this airframe had a crosshairs PAINTED on the pilots window. He just put the plane in a circular bank until the crosshairs was on the target and they went to pound town.
Now there are a handful of computer operators in the back and a gazillion computers running things.
