My source is good, and very reliable. The attack happened on Wed. and he called me on Fri. His description of the aircraft was "...you know the stealth? It's just like one of those.....They sent the drone up with the hellfire missles, and the Taliban were dragging bodies of thier own and loading them into trucks and running away. The drone killed (I believe he said 22 of them, but I can't remember for sure, the numbers were in the 20's for sure.)."Haywire what's your source.
The prototype Corax was first flown in 2004 after a 10-month development programme.
Haywire said:Canada created the first "remote control" bomber back in the early 80's. the Aircraft was NEVER used in combat, and was retired just last year (there were stories of it all over the news and in the papers), though I can't remember what the plane was called. Also, this aircraft was never made known to the public until it was retired last year.
Haywire said:You can't tell me that the US would let ANY other country get ahead of them in the military technology field.....so.....it is still that hard to believe???? Take your heads out of the sand.....this is 2006, not 1906!
Operation Desert Storm in the 80's!
As far as the drone pic goes, do you all know when the FIRST flying/operations-capable Stealth Bomber was airborne??? 1969!!! When did we FIRST see the Stealth used in combat? Operation Desert Storm in the 80's! Just because some of you may not have seen the "Drone" before, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

So, are you suggesting that this aircraft does exist & that its existence is secret?Haywire said:My source is good, and very reliable. ...

George Wallace said:I guess we must have an "Area5125 1/2" somewhere in remote Nunavut where we have constructed a large underground Air Base and disguised the Airfield as a glacier. Anyone posted to this Top Secret site has had all reference to their existence erased from all data bases, and never been allowed to leave. On Retirement they are set out on an Ice Flow to perish in the North Atlantic wastes. The story of the existence of this secret Base only came to light when a sixty year old Airman washed ashore in Come By Chance, Newfoundland, last summer, and in his delirium before he passed away made references to it to his rescuers.

SeaKingTacco said:Haywire- You are seconds away from being called "full of crap". On the off chance that I slept away the last 21 years of my military service, I suppose that you can provide a link or two for the rest of us to learn about how Canada managed to operate a secret fleet of UAV bombers for the past 20 years- without me or anyone else here knowing about it.
Link up, or shut up.
zipperhead_cop said:Seaking--remember on another thread we were talking about the AH-130 Spooky and the video from it? One of you flier types mentioned a new drone that may be replacing the Predator, and that it may be being carried on a Spooky. Smaller, and no Hellfires, if I am remembering right (and it is entirely possible that I'm not). If I'm not totally out to lunch, which drone was it you guys were talking about?
On the off-chance Haywire isn't 100% off target...
