The mechanism by which this would work is completely
different from Fake Blood bomb, so please don't
associate the
two. This device would consist of a very light metal
shell, a
paint tank, and a device to spray the paint around a very
wide area when it nears the ground.
The idea is for
enemy personnel to realize that the
attacking
airforce could have, but chose not to, kill them. The
intended
effect is to lower moral without risking bad press or
collateral
damage.
(?) Red paint's OK, but yellow would risk bad press.

The effect is to seriously piss them off by getting paint on their uniforms... |
|
|
[8th_of_7] There's an easy defense against that. Redesign
the uniforms so they appear to be already paint-spattered. |

|
//without risking bad press or collateral damage// The
enemy will launch a PR campaign claiming the pigment is
toxic, or carcinogenic, contains depleted uranium, has an
unfavorable carbon footprint, is manufactured by sweatshop
labor ... or something <link>. |
|

//This device would consist of a ... device//
[marked-for-del3tion] no idea. Please explain the spraying
device, it's half the idea. This idea is only half an idea. |

|
[daseva] I don't think he's obliged to, 'cause the spraying half
is
already baked <link>. |

Couldn't the same effect be gained more cheaply by
simply using dummy bombs? |
