DIME.

This is coolbert:

"Brother, can you spare a DIME?"

Alarming headlines in the aftermath of the Israeli Gaza incursion:

"DIME: A New Horror"

"Gaza doctors say patients suffering mystery injuries after Israeli attacks"

"Is Israel Using Banned and Experimental Munitions in Gaza?"

Horror - mystery - experimental!!

A new celebrity of the far left? Dr. Mats Gilbert.

A new weapon, causing insidious and vicious wounding to victims.

A new weapon - - DIME? Dense Inert Metal Explosive.

"Dense Inert Metal Explosive (DIME) also called a dime bomb, is an experimental type of explosive that has a relatively small but effective blast radius . . . an explosive material . . . and small particles of a chemically inert material such as tungsten. It is intended to limit the distance at which the explosion causes damage, to avoid collateral damage in warfare."

DIME weaponry, as dropped from Israeli aircraft. DIME warheads carried on the newly developed and now deployed GBU-39 bomb?



"The GBU-39 Small-Diameter Bomb (SDB) is a 250 pound (113 kg) guided bomb that is intended to provide aircraft with the ability to carry a higher number of bombs. Most US Air Force aircraft will be able to carry a pack of four of these bombs in place of a single 2,000 lb bomb"

Right. The collateral damage caused by one 2,000 pound being dropped on a target is just stupendous. If you are targeting a jihadi adversary who is hiding in a residential area you will successfully kill him with one 2,000 bomb, but in the process kill a lot of other persons who are just bystanders!

These small diameter bombs, more can be carried by one aircraft, allowing for greater versatility and response, while minimizing collateral damage. Kill that one specific targeted person and limit the lethality to the approximate area of the detonation!
