“Just a question.... What and or who is the handler signaling in that last picture ?”

Not sure, but I for one would not stand that close to a landing pilot-less vehicle.

I don’t think he was signaling anyone. I think he just had his hands in the air in a “Yeah, we did it!” kind of moment.

Agree....:o)

....Guess they have value, eye in the sky loiter ability etc ...300 miles out as pickets protecting perimeter etc .... Seems our DOD has become far to dependent on GPS satellites that are far to easy for an enemy to kill IMO.

Hopefully backup satellites are stashed and ready in vertical launchers at sea and on land for emergency replenishment.....

Love the technology, do not get me wrong, but my EDC bag still has a couple of compasses and topographic maps in it.
