This is especially bad news for Afghan farmers and Pakistani villagers on the Afghan border who will be, as in the past, the main victims of the boneheads who operate these satanic machines.'The 20th Reconnaissance Squadron has about 280 people, including pilots, sensor operators, mission intelligence coordinators, communication technicians and administrative personnel.The Air Force also has active-duty remotely piloted aircraft units at Creech Air Force Base, Nev.; Cannon Air Force Base, N.M.; Holloman Air Force Base, N.M.; and Ellsworth Air Force Base, S.D. Experts say the weapon would have limited use and would be far more vulnerable in a contested air environment. It also has been reported to have had problems in cold and icy conditions.The Air Force now has the capability to fly 54 Predator combat air patrol missions at once. It wants to increase that capacity to 65 round-the-clock missions by the end of 2013.
The Air Force earlier this year took delivery of the last of 268 Predators scheduled for purchase from California-based General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc.General Atomics is now building 329 MQ-9 Reapers, a larger unmanned drone that flies higher and faster, and carries 10 times the payload of the Predator.' Full obscenity here.
