UAV = Sitting Duck? Apparently Not

Extract from a Defense News article:-
After the IAF ascertained that all of its UAVs were accounted for, orders were given to shoot down the intruder. But the UAV managed to evade not one, but two Patriot anti-air interceptors and an air-to-air missile launched by one of the F-16s.
UAV with DAS?

... southwestward “until it was identified patrolling in circles above a kibbutz in the Galilee panhandle.”
My two rubles is going to be bet on the swimming pool at the kibbutz had a few bikini clad lovelies lying around it. Drone operators are human, and was that really an error?


In other news .. shot two Patriots at a drone but had CAP (and F-16) on scene?
Uh, can you say overkill? Let's see what the next 48 hours has for reportage. That smells a bit to me.


Now, where on the NASDAQ can I buy futures in X-47B and UCAV?
