Sherwood,

To properly answer your excellent queries I'd get carpal tunnel syndrome...
Think synergy. I mentioned three levels concerning rules of engagement, each with a "value". The shooter ( the last leg in the "kill chain" I talked about before) in the video simply dropped the weapon, exactly were he was directed to. The tape shows the sensor information used to get the weapon where it was intended, exactly, not to decide whether the target met the criteria for rules of engagement. It was a precision munition, guided by either GPS or other means.
You or I don't know the other intel that went into the shot...the other links in the rules of engagement.
To guess the who, the what and where that went into the shot is not productive since the permutations are endless...but I can tell you the fidelity of our capabilities would astound. From space, from 10,000ft, from next door, we can and do reach out and touch.
Again, flame at will.
