3800 Pounds Of Super
Sophisticated Weapons
Flown By A Pilot And Weapons
Officer

This Is A Big Plane
The airplane is the size of a jet fighter, powered by a turboprop
engine, able to fly at 300 mph and reach 50,000 feet. It is outfitted
with infrared, laser and radar targeting, and with a ton and a half of
guided bombs and missiles.
|
| |
|
Controlled From Nevada
The Reaper is loaded, but there is no one on board. Its pilot, as
it bombs targets in Iraq, will sit at a video console 7,000 miles away
in Nevada.

|
|
|
They Have A 3800 Lb Payload
These will hunt in squadrons of four, aviation history's first
robot attack squadron.
|
| |
|
These Are long Term Assets
That moment, one the Air Force will likely low-key, is expected
"soon," says the regional U.S. air commander. Gen Gary Northestimates
it will land in Iraq sometime between this fall and next spring.
"With more Reapers, I could send manned airplanes home," North said.

Weapons Systems
While the Predator is armed with two Hellfire missiles, the Reaper
can carry 14 of the air-to-ground weapons — or four Hellfires and two
500-pound bombs.
|

|
|
|
|
This Is Not A Recon Ship
The Air Force's 432nd Wing,Col. Joe Guasella, said "It's an attack
squadron, with a lot more kinetic ability." We will eventually
fly 60 Reapers and 160 Predators.

|
Afghan Drug Routes
The main reason we are in Afghanistan is the Taliban threw out the
Zionist opium drug lords. If Abdul decides to go into business against
them, these British drones will hit their caravans.

|
Nothing Like Live Targets
Theses things will comb the countryside and pity the
poor Bedouins. Eventually they will fly patrol on the
Mosul - Haifa
pipeline.
