Defense against UAV's
According to:
http://en.rian.ru/onlinenews/20060530/48833304.html An Iranian UAV was able to circle a U.S. aircraft carrier undetected for 25 minutes. With U.S. forces making increasing use of UAV's, the inevitable question becomes: How can we protect our forces against UAV's when other countries or terrorist organizations start using them against us? |

Did you notice this is a Russian news agency reporting on what an Iranian spokesman said? Thanks for pointing that out. It was wondering how it was known to have been circling for 25 minutes, if it was undetected. -- FF |

Assumptions like that get people killed. Underestimating an enemy, or potential enemy, is a very dangerous thing to do. -- William Black I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach Time for tea. |

How can we protect our forces against UAV's when other countries or terrorist organizations start using them against us? Carrier launches it's own swarm of 1/6 scale Hellcats to cut the intruders' crepe-paper streamers with their props... Finally someone's thinking straight. Personally I'd forget all the high-tech stuff and go for an old WWII carrier with Seafires on it. No swarm of UAVs can match that, plus all the WWII pilot wanabees get to fly. If a flight is sent to intercept a flock of birds, oh well, at least they've flown. If they come across hostile UAVs its time to check the lightbulb in that good old reflector gunsight and go weapons hot. |
