Well, at least this is a remote controlled plane, not an AI driven one. Also, "Mk 1 Eyeball" is wittier than anything said in that abomination called a film. |

Thats a rather short sighted cavalier attitude to take, don't you think? A brilliant advance of technology is a brilliant advance of technology, killing or no killing. |

Brilliant? Yes. But this one is going up against proven drone tech already, so it has some measuring up to do, no? Plus. American, remember? Short sighted and cavalier is pretty much our national trademark. |

I was actually discounting your remark but whatever. I wouldnt judge our own drone tech so harshly and be so confident in your own simply because you were there first. I think its good the MOD finally are taking their own strdes. I think thats new subs and new destroyer ships the MOD has created over the years now. Also, ours are in black :P |

Really I am viewing this more as an independant piece of UAV technology that, if it proves good enough, could be used by the military. But it's not in isolation a military only technology. I recall the British Police were very interested in UAV's recently, if not of this "jet" type, anyway. And if they ever got any damned funding, the Coastguard could really use this sort of technology in storms to cover much more ground(sea) a lot faster. |

Those new Destroyers? The Daring Class? They're being built less than a mile from my flat in the Glasgow Clyde. Best damn ship on the planet they are. Like the Bugatti Veyron of Naval Warfare. |

To be fair, the US do have one thing over us. NASA commandos. http://io9.com/341701/james-bonds-greatest-space-battle |

Those weren't "NASA Commandos". They were, quite literally, SPACE MARINES! >:) (And that flick did get one aspect of space combat correct: In Space, there is no such thing as a "minor hit". :P ) As to the Combat UAV: It's still using multi-thousand-dollar tech to kill $5-per-month irregular infantry armed with $50 AK-47s. Who knew that World War Three would not happen due to it costing far too much? >:) |

It's combat aircraft, it's not really designed for a conflict involving the kind of foe we face in Afghanistan. Think of it as looking to the future. |

Still won't happen -- instead of armies, they'll have economists. Why fight someone, when you can create the same effect by trashing his economy? :) |
