[0:08] In Saudi Arabia and Israel, the Scut
[0:10] attacks continued and so did the search
[0:12] for their mobile launchers. And now the
[0:15] pilot is maneuvering to drop laserg
[0:17] guided bombs on this target. There are a
[0:20] total of 11 vehicles in this uh area of
[0:25] and all of these are already loaded with
[0:27] Scud missiles. As you can see, these
[0:29] have already been fired. The flight lead
[0:32] now clears his number two man in to drop
[0:34] an area denial munition to take care of
[0:36] the remainder of the four vehicles that
[0:39] were on this side of the road.

[1:18] that unfortunately
[1:20] uh uh it it's it's taken on more
[1:25] significance than it should. Obviously
[1:27] no one likes to have their country
[1:29] attacked by anything and no one likes to
[1:31] feel that their population is in danger.
[1:34] Um, and and I'm not being the least bit
[1:37] facitious when I say this, but but
[1:39] saying that Scuds are are a danger to
[1:43] your nation is like saying that
[1:44] lightning is a danger to your nation.
[1:46] Because that, you know, I frankly would
[1:49] be more afraid of standing out in a
[1:50] lightning storm in souther
