Headline: 'Missiles fired from Nevada-controlled drone
aircraft kill Taliban leader.' Watch how it's done. Turn
the speakers on & watch in full screen.
Three of the weapons and guidance system on the drones are
products of Tucson 's Raytheon. Our drone technology
absolutely scares the crap out of the Taliban & Al Qaeda folks.
Drone Controllers: For non-pilots, these controllers are in
Nevada and each is flying a drone thousands of miles away in
the combat zone in Iraq and Afghanistan. Their left hand is
on the throttle controlling the drone's engine. Note all
the buttons with which they perform various tasks without
removing the hand from the throttle. The right hand is
flying the plane.
Welcome to modern warfare.
