Pakistan navy may buy S-100 camcopter to meet its UAV demands

http://www.defensenews.com/story.php?i=3926067

ISLAMABAD - The Pakistan Navy will increase its aerial surveillance capabilities with the acquisition of airborne early warning and UAV systems. This was announced by the Navy's chief of staff, Adm. Noman Bashir, during a Jan. 29 visit to the service's aviation base, PNS Mehran, in Karachi.

Though the admiral made no further comment on the UAV issue, the Navy has been evaluating the Schiebel S-100 Camcopter UAV for some time.

When asked if Bashir's latest comments were linked to the S-100, a Navy spokesman, Capt. Asif Majeed Butt, said, "There are about 14 to 15 UAVs under scrutiny, but none have been finalized." He did, however, say that the S-100 is "better" than some of the other UAVs under consideration.

Isn't flying planes better option? I mean how can this hide after all it makes so much noise and can easily be shot down before surveillance gets started?
