nomad2020 posted:I wonder how accurate that altitude estimate is. Would need ~15km to get most us jets flying close to their(publicly known) ceilings. I think usually you need a range of missiles specializing at different altitudes rather than a one size fits all approach.

lol I saw a BBC article characterise it as a simple innocent MQ-9 surveillance drone, but then I looked up the drone and learned it's a hunter-killer UAV known as either the MQ-9 Reaper, or a Predator B if you're feeling fancy.

Given where and why it's operating, I doubt it was fitted with hellfires. Why have the extra weight and drag when your ROE doesn't allow for their use?

I just thought it was funny they tiptoed around the drone being named after something that is characterised either by it's killing nature, or being the personification of death itself.

"hey if you gonna gently caress with us use the bullets so we can do a real war" "comrade, we are taking out that drone but we cannot fire a shot" in ye2230 of the american empire they will have tropes about how the perfidious russians sent up one jet with ammo and the other with the weapons and they had to dump fuel on it to down it Grognan has issued a correction as of 05:36 on Mar 15, 2023 |

Lmaoquote:The Air Force has contracted with General Atomics to build over 360 Reapers since the program began in 2007. A single Reaper drone costs roughly $30 million today, according to a Congressional Research Service report released last year. Chinese Luxury Export Option quote:However, the Wing Loong II's high acquisition price (believed to approach some 15 million USD) compared to the earlier Wing Loong I as well as contemporary designs has ensured that the latter is still popular on the export market to this day. Chinese Budget Option quote:Since 2011, China has also sold the Wing Loong, an armed drone, to several countries in Africa and the Middle East, including Nigeria, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates. At an estimated $1 million per unit, it provides capabilities similar to that of the U.S. Predator drone at less than a quarter of the cost. gotta make our expandable drones gold plated somehow
