Countries Seek More UAVs for Afghanistan Land søker flere UAVer for Afghanistan

The Financial Times reports that “countries operating in Afghanistan are…acquiring more” unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), according to experts, who explain that “Afghanistan is…a perfect environment for unmanned aircraft” because “[i]ts airspace is uncluttered and the Taliban does not have weaponry capable of shooting [the UAVs] down.” The move by coalition countries follows a move in which the British military fast-tracked procurement of “the Herti system, developed by BAE Systems and delivered to Afghanistan last year on trial.” The British military also asked for 10 Reaper MQ-9s, which are “equipped to carry precision guided bombs and missiles.” The Times notes that, in Afghanistan, “[a] shortage of battlefield drones has meant different forces have had to share air time.” Compounding the situation is “the fact that some drones, including the Predator, which is extensively used by US forces, are susceptible to bad weather and high winds.” The Financial Times rapporterer at "land som opererer i Afghanistan er ... anskaffe mer" ubemannede (UAVer), ifølge eksperter, som forklarer at "Afghanistan er ... et perfekt miljø for ubemannede fly", fordi "[i] ts luftrom er organisert og Taliban har ikke våpen i stand til å skyte [at UAVer] ned. "The flytte koalisjon av land følger et trekk som de britiske militære fort-spores anskaffelse av" den Herti-systemet, utviklet av BAE Systems og leveres til Afghanistan i fjor på prøveperioden. "Den britiske militære også bedt om 10 Reaper MQ-9s, som er" utstyrt for å bære presisjon bomber og raketter. "The Times notater, som i Afghanistan," [a] knapphet på slagmarken drones har betydd forskjellige styrker har hatt å dele luft tid. "compounding situasjonen er" det faktum at enkelte drones, inkludert Predator, som er stor utstrekning brukes av amerikanske styrker, er mottakelige for dårlig vær og kraftig vind. "
