MQ-9 Reaper
Another American unmanned beast, this $10.5 million aircraft is currently being used by armed forces in five countries.
This combat weapon has been most commonly used
by the US in Afghanistan, Iraq and even inside Pakistan for targeted
strikes.
It can easily fly at over 50,000 feet while carrying a load of
1,400 kg, including missiles that can be launched with pin-point
accuracy.
With that capacity, it can cause a whole lot of destruction without the pilot even having to be in the same country. Talk about flying by wire!
