    A missile huh?

    Well, it is the NYtimes. Not exactly reading for the intelligent who want news, and not liberal one-sided spin intent on destroying national security for political gain.

    If that's a missile, then my M14 is a 20 round missile launcher. Sweet!

    Looks like an old unfired Russian artillery projectile to me. There were literally hundreds of thousands of those things lying around Kandahar airport when I was there in 2002.

    Looks about 20+ years old.

    Glad to see our unarmed drones use the latest in technology.

    Yep. I don't know of any smooth-bored American artillery pieces.

    Its rifled, see the band of little shiny ridges near the bottom? Those engage the rifling in the tube on firing.

    Yes. The round itself is rifled and is designed for a smooth-bore cannon. Both the 105 and 155 howitzers have rifling inside the barrels and shoot projectiles with a smooth slider ring.
