billy pilgrim Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Wait... does that still count as a kill? Are you an ace? Uh, yeah - sort of... I like that CNN video that came out a few years back of the Georgian UAV getting shwacked by a Mig-29. He should've gunned it - pansy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 The UAV was unarmed for gosh sakes and just doing reconnaissance for the Ministry of the Interior. Welcome to Anti-Access/Area-Denied/Contested Ops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnknownRider Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 It's like a little kamikaze! Cool idea! I can't get it to embed either. Very cool idea, but not a new one......thought up in 1943, and used with drone B-17s against Nazi Germany in 1944......also planned on using this option with left over B-17s from the European theater for the planned invasion of Japan.

spaceman Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Very cool idea, but not a new one......thought up in 1943, and used with drone B-17s against Nazi Germany in 1944......also planned on using this option with left over B-17s from the European theater for the planned invasion of Japan. That is pretty interesting; I didn't even know they could set up full size planes for remote control that long ago. BUT, the difference is you definitely could not fit a B-17 in a backpack and launch it out of a handheld tube! On Oct 5, DARPA’s two-year Autonomous High-Altitude Refueling (AHR) program, which concluded Sep. 30, explored the ability to safely conduct fully autonomous refueling of UAVs in challenging high-altitude flight conditions. During its final test flight, two modified Global Hawk aircraft flew in close formation, 100 feet or less between refueling probe and receiver drogue, for the majority of a 2.5-hour engagement at 44,800 feet, said the agency. The test was briefly jeopardized when the drones began to bicker with one another when the recieving drone refused to transmit its tail number, stating that it should be clearly visible on the nose. Wait, what?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
