It seems strange that none of the UAV fashionistas seem to be able to explain why the US, with all its access to technology, are investing in a fleet of P-8s? Have they got it wrong? And if I'm wrong I will gladly get out my gun and start shooting the flying pigs for the BBQ.
Indeed, Roly. If it was that straightforward to use drones for the task, surely the US would already be doing so?
Or perhaps they have more sense than to rush into daft solutions for military requirements - such as PFI tankers and contractorised flying training...
