Did the HS-117 ever have any accredited kills? I know it wasn't used
operationally, but after a number of test launches the Germans must've tried
it against a 'live' drone of some kind? I wonder how accurate a radio
controlled SAM could be if the operator is staring through a telescopic
sight at a target that's no more than a dot 20,000ft away in the clouds?

How effective do you think a fragmentation warhead on one of these would be
against a tightly-packed formation of B-17s? Pretty ghastly I'd imagine.
