UAV gets pwned.

If only this would happen to every Predator, Global Hawk, Reaper, etc.

Yeah, until they come up with armed UAV's. I'm thinking something like an AUAV; 'twill shoot down any manned or unmanned threat before they even detect the presence of the AUAV, ya know what I'm sayin'?

Damn - now why the Ruskies go and do something like that?

HAHAH that was a great clip. Thanks for sharing!

Sweet clip.

dhc2tacksby · April 30th, 2008, 01:27

hmmm.

Am I the only one who is thinking something is wrong with this situation?
There is a lot more to this than the short clip has to offer.

Yeah, what's wrong is that a MiG shot down a UAV.

What do you suspect is going on there otherwise?

If I recall, the Russians said the Georgians shot down their own UAV, but as they pointed out in the clip, Georgia doesn't own any -29s.

Oh I dunno ... maybe a Russian gas pipeline going through Georgia to supply Europe and a little dispute about who is seeing action from that sweet, sweet petroleum revenue, and if the Georgians will try to interrupt the flow again.

Two topics I find interesting:

Really? One guy sitting in front of a couple of laptops in a cubicle, spouting his opinion about what happened, is how Georgia wants to present their casus belli (or, at least, righteous indignation)?
I wonder if the missile cost more than the UAV.
