Are IHL principles taken into account

the air force's 1.5 billion dollar bombsight was used to drop its three billion dollar bomb, which didn't need a bombsight at all.

Forget about trying to hit the bull's eye in darts, just aim for the same spot over and over again.

And in the time since Galileo pointed that rudimentary telescope at the celestial bodies, the known universe has come to us through light, across vast eras in cosmic history.

It's called the Norden Mark 15 bombsight.

And what did the Norden bombsight do?

Legal advice on targeting

When he aimed, he never missed.

The Norden bombsight is the Holy Grail.

Well, the reason it's such a bad job is that there's somebody shooting at you a lot of the time.

f) firearms with permanently fixed laser aim, aim designed on the night vision principle, infra radiator, electronic image amplification, or image reversal technology,

The bombsights that were available were incredibly crude.

I ended up narrowing the subject to Monet's Haystacks.

And that's the greatest irony of all when it comes to the Norden bombsight.

Now Trump's White House is targeting the Statue of Liberty

And the bombsight will tell him when to drop the bomb.

Step one is that the Taliban prey on families that are large, that are poor, that live in rural areas.

Growing up is about aiming to succeed wildly and being fulfilled by failing really well.

I can tell you for a fact, that the next one that they're planning is called The Extremely Large Telescope.

And so what we're starting to do is we're starting to inject specially designed markers into the bloodstream that will target the cancer.

So they had their own Norden bombsight throughout the entire war which also, by the way, didn't work very well.

This factor is more significant for large SINTNCs that aim at the global market.
