XDA: Don't Fear the Reaper

Don't Fear the Reaper

The future of Aerial Warfare, the MQ-9 Reaper.

See the two smart bombs (GBU-12 Paveway II or GBU-38 Joint Direct Attack Munitions)? It can also carry four AGM-114 Hellfire missiles on the wings.

This will be the plane skynet uses to mop up the surviving humans after the nuke strikes.

We only have 10, so far, and they are 10 months deployed in Afghanistan.
