As born out by this incident, some are and some aren't.


No. The Raven is a controllable UAV, this incident does not change that.


Your logic escapes me.

How do you reconcile that opinion with the fact that the USAF found
the Raven UAV involved in the subject incident uncontrollable
immediately after it was launched. It would seem to me, that the
evidence it rather irrefutable against the Raven UAV being
controllable 100% of the time. So to the extent that that sort of
event, and any similar events, occur, it is obvious to an objective
observer that it not always controllable.


Nothing is 100% halfwit. Geez. 45,000 (give or take but I'll bet
you'll quote 30 years of stats now to make a one word point) people
die annually in auto collisions.

By your logic that make them uncontrollable and therefore all autos
should be banned.

Are you 13 or 14?
