    Someone (veritasium?) Already did an episode on this and concluded even at like 500 feet up from ground, without an active guidance system, it’s up to luck to hit within a reasonable distance, IIRC.

      Lol you can’t compare a youtuber 500ft up throwing weights with a full military and scientific effort.

        No, but throwing weights from 500 feet up is probably more accurate which was pointed out in the video
