Humbert reports:
The Predator cameras are so sophisticated, they pierce clouds and slice the fog of war all while flying at 26,000 feet for 24 hours at a time. They also come packed with two hellfire missiles. We can't tell you their range or how far the cameras can see. -- that's classified.[...]
With staff and technology and four planes, the Predator unit costs $30 million, a drop in the bucket for military spending.[...]
But for potential pilots of a younger generation, flying the Predator is very appealing, some sensor operators are just 19-years-old. The future is here.
