ISLAMABAD — Pakistan’s army has conducted a military exercise to shoot down drones, the Defense Ministry said Friday in the wake of repeated incidents involving unmanned U.S. drones flying across the border from Afghanistan targeting militant hideouts.
The ministry, in a statement, said the army’s air defense wing used surface-to-air Anza missiles and radar-controlled guns in the exercise conducted at Khudai range at Muzaffar Garh, about 480 kilometers southwest of Islamabad in Punjab province, which concluded Friday.

A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.
I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad

Considering the amount of ordinance on a Reaper these days, "shooting back" is something of an understatement.mekender wrote:my first thought... dont worry... we've got plenty, and they shoot back.

The funny thing is, the Reaper looks almost exactly like a Predator.. Except it's like twice the size.
