Interesting that they are spending so much time loitering and orbiting.
The perspective from news coverage is that it's take off, wham bam thank you mam and back.
That's a long day to spend with your posterior on a hard bang seat - waiting to plink a target.
You'd think there's be a market for a `Super-Reaper' type platform with double the weapon loadout that could spend all day out of reach of manpads, just waiting for a target to emerge.
