That's on my list to investigate....and one of the things to look at is the size. The Predator is no size zero UAV

I promised myself I wouldn't get involved with this years ago when I came here, I have enough on my plate already so let's consider this a "Baton" for someone. i like them and we are way behind on this piece of gear as many third world countries in the game currently are using them in the real world. So I hope this helps with the immediate question at hand. There are 52 of this type of equipment addressed on this site. What I like about these guys are they list country users with dates they got them much like the Army version of this site. I've used both for refs regularly and they are GOOD. On the weapons side REAPER up to 4 HELLFIRE II Missiles with either two GBU-12 or EGBU-12 Laser Guided Bombs AND a 500lb. GBU-38 JDAM or a 800lb. payload. Other weapons configurations are listed as well. Dimensions are noted as well. Good reading with regular updates on thier articles.

When you get the 404 ERROR and read the sentence below it click on "Industry Projects" then look for "By Category" section middle of the page, the UAV family is at the bottom of the list. Just did that 3 times and it works. They might be updating articles or maintaining the site not unusual for these guys mostly happens around 1am EST but can happen at other times. Now it appears you can't link to any of the individual "projects" so go back to the bold and you'll just have to be patient. It will come back.

And can I now respectfully request that we get back to the purpose of this thread of why it's here and who it's for see Post #1. Thank You!!

Regards,
Pat

Don,
It's the below ref item to work which will obviously affect the USA as well and will require more research on the USA side though I already possess some info on the AH-64E (The most advanced helo flying.) or the Tank Patch we discussed via PM. Might be able to do both but no promises to meet the deadline you gave me. The ref is from Heli Hub that vetted (The ref.) and reports that Taiwan will get the AH-64E (This is the APACHE Block III for some others who don't follow Helo news.) in OCT. 2013. have seen reports on this already and the crews/ground support are already training here. I have posted news on this in the HELO Thread. The source is good and it would mean the USA is further along then I thought. Point the way and I'll go down the road you want, it doesn't matter to me.
