#3   Why are we still using Hellfires and not developing the next generation.

Perhaps they've been concentrating on little drone missiles? I have to admit, I'm not clear on what the characteristics of a Hellfire are, but as the drones have gotten smaller, so have their missiles, which I think may also be fire-and-forget.

#2  Alright, here's a serious question. Why are we still using Hellfires and not developing the next generation. Hellfires are OLD...Harpoons are old, have we even introduced a new missile in the past two decades? One of any kind?
