#1 These are not the drones you are looking for.

#2 Can the locals even see or hear these drones? And I doubt that US fighter jets would show up on that side of the border unless there was a serious reason. I call BS.

#4 It said that US spy planes had been continuously violating the Pakistani airspace for the last four days.

In related news, Pakistan harbors the enemies of civilization.

#5 It shouldn't take more than three days to find out which mad mullah has gone to claim his 72 raisins.

#7 "several fighter jets have violated Pakistani airspace five times in North Waziristan"

Only five times?

Quit slacking and step it up, boys.

#8 It ain't your airspace if you don't exercise sovereign control over it. It's the airspace of the anti-government NW provinces who incidentally harbor enemies of civilization.

#9 Once again you have muzzies wanting the benefits of society (sovereignty) without doing what it takes to earn it. (in this case, exercise control of the renegade frontiers.)

#10 It ain't your airspace if you don't exercise sovereign control over it.

All your airspace..... and while you're at it GTF off our ocean.

#11 I long for the day when the US conducts ARCLIGHT strikes and napalm bombing runs against the lawless tribal areas of an ungoverned phakestain. Until we do, there can be no peace in Afghanistan.

#14 Can the locals even see or hear these drones?

Depends on which model it is. The Global Hawks stay very high for recon/surveillance. Predator class flies lower and there are newer models that fly at a variety of speeds & altitudes.

#15 The latest issue of Discover magazine showed a picture of the next generation spy drone -- palm-sized, with two upward pointing stabilizing fins. It's a short-distance flier, thus far capable of only fifteen minutes of flight time... but awfully cute.

#17 Trailing Wife,

When they develope smart honey bee size drones, with stingers, and program them to swarm the enemy, I will PAY to watch those video feedbacks. I think they would be REALLY cute!

Can we test at Berkely?
