You know what I don't understand about this sudden increase in "lost control" over these UAVs?? One would think that they would have a pre-set navigational program that would direct them to retreat to their place of origin should remote contact be lost. I'm beginning to suspect that the Iraqi's are using energy weapons against them (HERF, EMP) to disrupt their computer controls, rendering them useless. And they may have given this technology to the Taleban... HERF weapons are especially difficult to build, and they are difficult to properly harden delicate computer chips against. Hawkmoon

Strategy OR Not.Send In The Drones...By The Hundreds I Say. This surveillance weapon will prove invaluable in Afghani. In the early stages they should blacken the skies with these puppies and make the Taliban blow off their stingers. No stingers...no threat to other aircraft.Simple huh? The US and it's allies will show the Russians how to sniff out a cockroach and squish it like the bug that it is. The technical and tactical advances will scare the beegeezus out of these Neanderthals, just as Iraq learned TEN YEARS AGO! Go Gett'em!
