 |  Hezbollah Flying UAVs
Iranian made, capable of carrying a 'medium-sized, high-explosive warhead' (although this one didn't appear to be armed)... http://www.flightglobal.com/Articles...n+Lebanon.html  |

I thought that according to the news I've seen, Hezbollah was a "rag-tag" "army". Guess not. Ya can't trust anyone these days.

Any "Rag TAG" Army can get Insane weapons if they hook up with a sheik or someone that can deal in Dirty Damonds, and unlimited cash... Thats whats scary about the extremeists.... all it takes is one SUPER rich guy to become one, and you instantly have a problem due to countries that are poor and can make piles of loot selling weapons...

| Re: Hezbollah Flying UAVs They aint all bad over there. I was surprised at the amount of regular people I met in Afghanistan and Iraq. Farmers, workers, doctors....just like us. Of course the ones that shot at me didnt live too long. To group them all together and say they are all bad is ignorant. Wars really suck but I think America in general has become a big sissy. I mean people are getting tried for war crimes for trying to defend this country. People are getting put in jail for trying to prevent drug dealers from getting across our borders. We even let the enemy take us to our own courts. People really should get more involved and have problems with this. In my opinion the terrorists are winning. I cant even just take a flight without being treated as one myself for having darker skin. In the past things had to happen, some terrible, but they happened so we could enjoy or freedoms. No one complained then. Myself I cant stand all the people who get judgemental about things that happen in war. You view things a lot different when you get used to shooting people in the face.

Hahahaha, i like the fact that an F16 shot down what is ultimatly not alot more than a model aircraft. Good to see those Python 5's arent going to waste "The UAV disintegrated into several pieces after being struck by a Python 5" "Each launch costs millions of dollars"

| Re: Hezbollah Flying UAVs
Thats another way to win a war. Use $500,000 missles to destroy a $300 model. Precision guided weapons are great but they sure do cost a lot of money. We have come full circle; in WW2 our tanks were inferior to the Germans but we had greater numbers. The Army's fighting philosophy has always been 3 to 1. Strength in numbers. We have a lot more than you think but I cant talk about it.

| Re: Hezbollah Flying UAVs
Good question ask the thread starter! Then again there is a lot on here that does not have to do with model planes right?
