Let's be brutal here....UAVs in the RAF? UAVs will be the RAF.

The AAC is only starting to realise this now and is playing catchup. The RAF has grabbed a good piece of the UAV and ISTAR turf and is doing well.

Phoenix was a token effort. How many crashed ? And I don't mean that performance that is supposed to see it come home but it has been used on operational tasks and so should be considered an operationally deployed piece of kit.

The next few years in this field are going to be very interesting.
