already on patrol it is able to eliminate the target. The drone is equipped with hellfire missiles that is an air to surface missile that can decimate any land target.

There are pros and cons for using drones, one drawback that is negative about these are they take anywhere from $2,500 - $30,000 dollars an hour to keep in the air, it's a hefty price for something so useful. As much as a price that it is to have the drones in other countries, it is still a better cost to that of having troops settled overseas. War is a very expensive and unique aspect of life. While a drone costs around 1.5 million a year to keep overseas the average amount of money spent for
Boeing is a very interesting company. Boeing may only be one company but they compete in two different markets: commercial airlines and the defense industry. The main competition in the commercial airline market is Airbus. Airbus and Boeing seem to have the commercial airline industry in a chokehold basically having no other competitors.

Originally it was designed for surveillance, but now it can be outfitted with many different types of weaponry like the laser guided AGM-114 Hellfire anti-armor missiles.

But recently it seems that man is slowly starting to come back down to earth and complete aviation-required tasks with two feet firmly on the ground. As impossible as it may seem, aeronautics and aviation are doing something almost unfathomable: letting airplanes fly without a pilot. This amazing feat is being done through the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). These spectacular aircrafts are revolutionizing
