Drones Fail, Unlimited Funds Prevail
Unmanned Predator drone costs $4,500,000 per unit
U.S. House Approves $636.3 Billion for Defense in Fiscal 2010
Cost to Iraqi freedom fighters for Skygrabber software to know exactly what the drones are doing: $25.95
"WASHINGTON -- Militants in Iraq have used $26 off-the-shelf software to intercept live video feeds from U.S. Predator drones, potentially providing them with information they need to evade or monitor U.S. military operations."
Air force says over 1/3 of their drones have crashed
"Air Force officials acknowledge that more than a third of their unmanned Predator spy planes — which are 27 feet long, powered by a high-performance snowmobile engine, and cost $4.5 million apiece — have crashed, mostly in Iraq and Afghanistan."
Not A Problem!
Air Force Training More Drone Pilots Than New Fighter and Bomber Pilots
