Having served in the infantry in Afganistan you are dead wrong, and APC ot a technical ( heavy machine gun mounted on a pickup, traditionally a Toyota helix) a Helfire would definatly be fired at one.

No no, I mean the bladed version wouldn't. But the traditional HE frag version would.

So it doesn't make sense to send the MQ out with the blades unless you're sure you're after a single target.

Edit: disregard. Video posted below looks like it's pretty effective.

There's a Knife Missile testing video and the target is a test dummy in a remotely driven pickup on some strip of desert.

(I can't find a link. =( )

The missile goes through the driver's side roof and wedges out the passenger side floor.

The pickup was driven at variable speeds and it was just a crazy accurate as a standard hellfire.
