"...i am quite sure we will never get to know the truth"
Does anybody get to know the "truth" from FATA anyway?
Does anybody get to know the truth from anywhere where US interferes? Your media, your information and then your lies become the truth!
If shot down, it'll be replaced. Big deal. I wonder what would happen had there been an American pilot on board. More or less celebration here. What if it was flying with PAF markings? Many of you want control of these missions.
It will be replaced without a second thought because these UAV's are not being shot down by PA or PAF, had that been the case I would have loved to see how many you would have replaced be it piloted or pilot less!
We want control of these missions to minimize collateral damage that is acceptable to you and to destroy non state elements that are being trained by RAW and probably even MOSSAD under your very own nose in Afghanistan to carry out missions in Pakistan. Maybe they even serve some of your interests directly or indirectly and your government does not give a **** so piss off mate!
Would that please you? This is much ado about nothing save the reactions expressed here. If you're happy, then you're on the wrong side of this war.
War??? What ******* war??? You call an illegal invasion and massive destruction a war? Murdering millions of unarmed civilians around the world and displacing tens of millions more is war???? This world may just have been a better place under Hitler or the USSR you arrogant pricks!
PREDATOR attacks the enemies of your nation where you can't or won't go...and kills them. PREDATOR is a natural reaction to the use of your lands by these enemies to make war on Afghanistan. PREDATOR HITS it's targets with stunning accuracy and boring regularity. It is reliable and does not level entire cities unlike your forces at Loe Sam. IT IS NOT THE CAUSE OF 800,000SWAT AND BAJAUR REFUGEES.
Why weren't they our enemies before you illegally attacked and occupied a country already destroyed by multiple years of war? Your agencies create them, train them, arm them and then send them here to carry out terrorist activities to try and justify your inhumane and illegal existence outside of your international boundaries. If your agencies are not directly involved then they turn a blind eye to RAW who is training, arming and supplying behtullah mehsud and Maulana Fazlullah to fight PA and to carry out terrorist activities across Pakistan.
You arrogantly claim how your predator hits with stunning accuracy because of your disregard to humans and to humanity. You have no emotions for the thousands of mostly elderly, women and children that are martyred in those cowardly attacks. If your nation was that courageous mate you would have taken on Iran and North Korea instead of invading already depleted and war torn nations. You are just a bunch of cowards that will face resistance from Iran, North Korea, China, Russia and a lot of other upcoming countries. Your future is not as rosy as your past was. You will not stay the sole super power in the coming decades and that will be for the better of this world!
If true and you're happy-congratulations. You've killed one pilotless drone and again proved the final value of such aircraft. Needless to say we won't be holding our breaths awaiting the next. It's not often. Certainly less often than the strikes which will be delivered by PREDATOR and REAPER.
Only because 'we' are not shooting down your drones, but the day this country gets a government that is sincere to its masses and not imposed on us by the west you will see matching hostility in our skies. Your own existence close to our border to threaten or attack us will be highly threatened. So far you enjoy no retaliation because there is no policy to repulse your attacks.
If true, nice shot. Go for double or nothing? If you hit it, I'll give you the nice soft bunny for your girlfriend. You know?...the one that's right here-
Happy hunting!
Just so you knew the chances of shooting down these drones with assault weapons are probably a million to one. The drone that went down probably went down because of technical issues unless it was flying low enough to be visible and be shot down.
