In United States military aviation: The letter "R" designates a reconnaissance aircraft. The letter "Q" designates an unmanned aircraft. The letter "F" designates a fighter (primary target is enemy aircraft). The letter "B" designates a bomber and the letter "A" designates and attack aircraft. In both cases, the primary target is enemy surface assets. The distinction can be a bit confused, although "B" is usually heavier than contemporary "A". The letter "H" designates a helicopter. The letter "U" designates a utility aircraft. The letter "P" currently designates a patrol aircraft. The letter "E" designates an electronic warfare aircraft. The letter "C" designates a cargo aircraft. The letter "K" designates an aerial refueling tanker.
Historically, the letter "P" designated a pursuit aircraft, what we would now call a fighter. These conventions are most closely observed by the Air Force and Army. Historically, the Navy used designations that seem almost random.
These letter designations can be combined as needed.

ANQ?
At anyrate, busting Perry chops over the drone comment “predator or what ever the fudge” was stupid.
We all know it was not a predator drone.
Perry’s best moment was on the matter of intel assets.
He hit it out of the park!
True, but "U" can additionally stand for unmanned, as in UAV-unmanned aerial vehicle.
