You are unwilling to move your useless, annoying ass to google the performance stats of MQ-9 on wikipedia, so feel free to show off how you are too lazy to answer your own stupid question, but not lazy enough to stop being annoying pointlessly like your whole chain of replies here.Ok, ok, you are unwilling to back your claims with anything, got it.
Then we are well outside of the territory of "cheap" and in the territory of "creative accounting".Oh, and I was thinking that a few old MiGs could just be cannibalized and/or repurposed as drones.
Like China does with some of its old stuff. Also, no need for armaments.
Well, maybe a boxing glove with a smiling shark on it.
Ok, so since you are being a smartass, and it is already a drone with a digital command link, don't you think it would be possible to give the controller a "arm/disarm anti-tamper" button, in which case we wouldn't need to be having this whole exchange?Since it is triggered by an impact I don't think you wnat it to be active on a friendly airfield, or when the drone is in transit, or, heck, close to friendly urban areas.
