It’s need a minigun turret right behind the sensor turret. And make it a two man remote plane with a pilot and gunner.
Why is the CIA being curbed by prosecutions. Why have community worker ROEs been implimented in Afghanistan.
Many of the pirates are LUO, from Obama's native tribe from the Kenya / Somali coast.
The drones have only one to three humans in the chain of command and the president calls the shot, which is why they will never be used to shoot the pirates.
Why not just allocate a force to clean them up, such as an A-10 Squadron? Because they will never be cleaned up, not by Obama.
Obama us weak, and derogates the USA in the sphere of freedom of the seas. The Indian Navy does a better job than the USA ever will under Obama.
We have a kindler gentler way to look like we wage war on piracy. Which means we do no such thing while looking "like" we do.
Waste of money.
You take a shot at it.
The pirates have money for MANPADS if the want them. One of these days, probably soon, one of our choppers is going to get a very rude surprise.
They might even be able to afford some light SAM system. So they might be able to find some weapons that can reach a Reaper at operational altitude.
Another problem is, we don’t attack the “mother ships.” And the bomb or missile is waaaaay more expensive than the little zodiac boat it takes out.
Better trick would be to fly them over various African cities at night and drop some bombs on the pirate captains’ mansions then blame the explosions on gang warfare or the local government.
