Cool Military Equipment

The AF has formed its first UAV wing. The 432 Wing is composed of 6 Predator Squadrons and 1 Maintenance. The really cool thing is that not only the original predator is being fielded, but also the new Predator B, aka the "Reaper." The Reaper is differnet from the original in that it wasn't designed as a recon UAV but instead it was designed directly for combat. I love this in that the new UAVs are being designed and fielded at a fairly rapid pace compared to how long it takes other services to come up with newer technology, such as the redesign for the HMMWV (though putting the Couger, Badger, and other IED ressistant vehicles into theater is pretty impressive).
