Do you think Simon would stock these?

I think this is a new video about these wee critters. Very compact base station.

Mini drone gives UK troops extra eyes 06.02.13

So if it's windy, they get out a telescopic ladder and peer over the top of the compound wall I guess.

Very defeatist Andy if i may say so!  :D

The US fly real drones (not toy ones the Uk now have) and even they are no good, the only way to beat the taliban is to remove our soldiers from the dust pit. You can have as many gadgets as you like out there and they will still kill us. The only gadget I have seen that scares the living sh*t out of them is the AH64 Apache

Very few of us will have had your experiences so we can only really comment from the comfort and safety of our cosy little houses, as can the politicians who make some very questionable decisions. Personally I just can't see a resolution to that conflict as the sides are too far apart to even begin agreeing of anything except that bombs and bullets kill.

Now.... Apache can only fly if the weather conditions are right .... ICBMs can fly anytime  ;D

Push the button and bomb Afghan forward into the stone age!  :P

The Apache is truly worthy of fear... That thing is just an incredibly capable killing machine.

History has proven it several times though - technological superiority counts for little in the face of a determined and capable force waging guerrilla style war.

They aren't capable of defeating the other side in the traditional sense, but are near impossible to eradicate and just wage a war of attrition until the loss/public opinion/expense becomes too great and their enemies leave...

[Gundummy]

A pistol is an incredibly efficient killing machine...as is a knife!

More wars have been won through technical superiority...than technical inferiority..

Any war can be won.  It depends on how much you'd like to spend...

That's my 2 pence!  ;D
