It doesn't look like it took much damage, probably just went down on its own.

Jarhead forgot to fill it up with fuel

He was such a young processor. A real chip off the old block.

"I wonder if such drones could be packed with explosives to remotely trigger them, . . ."

What an awesome idea. Let them down a couple of these things and take 'em home. Hehehehehehehehehe. Oh, and be sure to keep the remote camera on and sending signals up until it goes kaboom!

"Some of the casualties were inflicted when a US helicopter fired on a crowd cheering around a disabled US armoured vehicle in Baghdad. "

Excellent!

Hope this represents ROI policy.

Gotta love it when your enemy identifies themselves.

I heard they also shot down a scale wooden SR71 model too!



Too bad the modeler didn't understand what the canopy looks like.

The title belies the story.

They downed a 100mpg (if that much) drone. The title makes it sound like Gary Powers and a U2.

It seems it would be very simple and cheap -- if they don't they should. Or wait until they deliver the plane to bin Laden.

Prolly, I doubt anyone would put stars and "Marines" on a drone. But I'll reserve judgment until I hear what Dan Rather has to say, ex cathedra. BTW, I don't see any battle damage, do you?

I hope we got ways of tracking that spy plane in hopes that we can finally rid the earth of these murderous scum.
