any feedback?

Six hours uptime seems to be a little short compared to the Predator's 40 hours uptime. Of course this aircraft maybe cheaper and more maneuverable. Still I think we should stick with the Predator for reconnaissance missions. Also in my opinion it is not good to rely on foreign companies to produce military aircraft. I can see buying some parts from them but not the whole aircraft.
