Can skynet be far behind?
The once mighty Royal Navy consists of about 25 destroyers and smaller vessels. Their money s going to house and feed Muslims. What makes you think they’ll actually field any of these?
Looks American.
I guess Black Ops 2 is becoming a little bit more real than I thought
Ping.
Fundamental question here. Stealth - low signature. Drone - RF link back to a controller. Isn’t that a basic conflict?

Thanks.
I think it’s kinda cool.
Don’t know if they’ll eventually develop it or not, but it is cool.
While these very high tech birds are impressive and important in their own right, I suspect that the future of air war will be on the other side of the equation of quality vs. quantity.
Imagine a really cheap UAV, that, along with its engine, fuel tank, simple wire guidance from a simple shielded computer, and 1000lb bomb, is about as expensive as an economy car, say $30,000 each, mass produced.
For the cost of a single B-2 Stealth Bomber, about $750m, you could build 30,000 of these simple drones.
Who could shoot down an air armada of 300 aircraft, much less 3,000? 30,000?
And if you equipped just a few dozen with reasonably good air to air missiles, you could likely get air superiority as well.
The use of the things is simple: Just fill their tank, insert a modular computer brain into them, arm their weapons system, and launch.
Actually if you slide a Spitfire under it, and tip the UAV`s wing, the gyros will go haywire and it will crash like a V1.
And comes with no conscious objection when it's used against British civilians.
Thanks for the posting and pix
B-2 me too.
The zigzag landing gear doors are hardly conducive to high speed.
All of the drones that we have that look exactly like this one are
subsonic.
I tend to believe they received some drawings from Boeing.
