• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

That title got your attention, didn't it? This was in 2002 though. I had no idea this had happened. That just goes to show you how much publicity that UAVs used to get. Sure, this was on TV, but it wasn't all over the place. There's a lot to the rifts between Saddam and the Western world that won't make it into the history books.

I have no doubt that there are RPAs out there that can dominate any manned fighter. If there aren't, then our DARPA money is wasted.
 
There was some rather spectacular footage released quite some time ago that showed a Russian Mig-29 shooting down a Georgian UAV from the point of view of the UAV itself.
