  after watching MI3, i thought about the radio control plane launching missiles.
  it could be possible...but then expensive....
  
  does anyone know of any remote bombing aircraft,not plioted by anyone inside?

  Not only does it carries Hellfire missiles, it does bombs too. And together!

  The UAVs that the US operates are fairly large, compared to what we have. So they can carry a fair amount of ordinance if needed. I believe that Boeing and Lockheed are currently competing for a contract on UCAVs and they will probably be able to do some missions including precision bombing.
