DARPA VULTURE unmanned aircraft

what's up with the music

Vulture transmits 80s rock.

Not a waste when you consider that this drone can be used as an additional search party for rescue ops. OR can be used to patrol borders, record drug and human trafficking, all without risk to human life. Would prevent coast guard and air national guard para-rescue from wasting time headed in wrong directions.

You got to get your facts straight. Nowadays surface based missiles can even take out satellites in low orbit (orbiting at 200,000 ft height). So this taxdollars wasting flying snail at 80,000 ft height (at best) certainly is no challenge for modern SAM systems.

Okay fair enough, but you know that Darpa has already thought about the fact that it will be a sitting duck.

What a stupid spy platform. One easy shot with a surface-to-air missile and it is blown to smithereens. Another waste of taxpayer's money by that dumbest money-drain institute of all: Darpa. Remember the remote-controlled bees and cockroaches that these idiots played with? Or the RFID pixie-dust to be read by satellites, violating some laws-of-physics in the process? Bullshit!

Kick ass tunes! Rocking! fuck the libtards!

You people amaze me, there is a video about a cheaper way to get a non-spacecraft in the air and all of a sudden it's big brother trying to infringe on your sorry-ass liberal rights!!! In case you didn't know it there are already orbital satellites that keep tabs on the world, this is an alternative to expensive spacecraft.
