Badass Video Of Remote Control Predator In Iraq

One of the ways we've come up with to limit the number of IED (roadside bombs) attacks is to monitor our most heavily traveled areas using Predators. They are very quiet and fly high enough so that they can't be heard or seen. And because they don't have a pilot, they can fly over 24 hours at a time. In this video, a Predator comes upon three insurgents planting an IED. It then contacts a nearby F-16 who then drops a 500 lb bomb on them. BTW, the person controlling the Predator is 8,000 miles away at Nellis AFB in Nevada
