US Army unveils new unmanned aircraft - the Gray Eagle

[indian_foxhound]

At 3,600 pounds the
ability to fly up to 172 miles per hour, the Gray
Eagle is one of the U.S. Army's newest and most
advanced high-tech tools patrolling the sky. The new, larger unmanned aerial vehicle was recognized at Fort Hood for reaching a milestone
after the 21st Cavalry Brigade Air Combat unit
achieved the 100-hour mark of training. On Wednesday, Spec. Jacob Presnell performed a
training exercise in restricted airspace at Fort Hood. However, the Army says it really soars
when deployed over war zones. "I think it provides more capability to the soldiers
on the ground," Col. Neil Hersey said. It gives
them better awareness of the battlefield and
informs commanders so they can take wise
decisions on whether to take action or not to
take action on something."

No system is invincible. Russian systems have had their fair share of humiliation when faced with western tech.

agreed they might not have shot it down but to bring down such a system we dont need a big platform, it can be done by other portable devices...if there is any one u need to thank...... thank pak govt for not arming them with this system.
