Moaning has its virtues... It lets off steam.
However to your point why unmanned drones are not use more in patrol type engagements. Logistics pure an simple. Having a drone for every unit makes no sense and unlike a plane with a human element who can act on hunches a drone is just a flying camera with a few heat sensors. What you saw in Ross Kemps Afganistan was war, pure and simple. Having been in similiar situations however not with said armies, technology helps a lot but it is always the grunt on the ground that takes the objective. As for operational budget, let's just say the grunt on the ground does not give a sh%t how much a javlin costs. How much do you think it costs just to keep the fast movers on standby... $10 000 and when they unload a smart bomb, well add +/-$20.000 to the bill. Last edited by Bobb4; 04-21-2009 at 06:05 AM.
