posted:
Each self-guided bullet is around 4 inches in length. At the tip is an optical sensor, that can detect a laser beam being shone on a far-off target. Actuators inside the bullet get intel from the bullet’s sensor, and then “steer tiny fins that guide the bullet to the target.†The bullet can self-correct its navigational path 30 times a second, all while flying more than twice the speed of sound.
Accurate up to one mile? Less and less skill needed in the ground pounder as time goes on.

Not too high a price to pay for expedient assassination, eh?

You're right. Ultimately this traces back to a private cartel of central bankers who control a nations currency who have a very very long history of funding wars.
