Not a weaponeer these days but why, if loiter time and load are so important, cant we fit a big plane, a bomber say (2 BFO engines (ideally 4) nice stiff wing with hard points or maybe even an internal bomb bay...call it a Shropshire maybe or any other County for that matter bit like an updated modernised Lanc...) load it up with various guideable munitions and a good link from predator or maybe even a good TI camera or something. It could stay there for hours. Build in a galley, fridge, convenience etc oh a couple of refuel hoses and a boom in case you need a small pointy type thing to go low and do some v v CAS., Bombs away Ginger as they used to say................Hurrah for the boys of Bomber Command we're back!
