You are replacing a 300k observation plane with a multi million dollar UAV, and replacing a highly trained Cessna pilot with a room full of highly trained UAV operators. It's a plan only a government could love. In combat.. you have a semi disposable observation platform that has long loiter time and that can also provide laser targeting information (and some have shot missiles at moving ground targets and hit them).. and you have kept the "jellyware" (a.k.a. human life form) safely on the ground and not flying over enemy territory. Combat by remote control is a good thing. So, are you saying the United States of America is hostile territory? |
