Submitted by YOUR NEW REALITY

What is trailed and tested in the war zone, usually, eventually, returns to the homeland. It will take something special for most people to accept that heavily armed hunter-killer robots are a necessity in the skies above our cities.

Then again, maybe we won’t show any resistance at all, and we won’t need to be shocked into accepting a reality where armed killer robots patrol, overhead.

From SpaceWar :

An MQ-9 Reaper dropped a 500-pound bomb against an anti-Iraqi target…
The Reaper began flying combat sorties in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom July 18 and joined the MQ-1 Predator as another UAS patrolling the sky to protect coalition forces.

“This was a great example of the Reaper’s unique capabilities,” Colonel Morgan said. “We searched for, found, fixed, targeted and destroyed a target with just one aircraft.”
