according to Russian news sources, we are already doing that but its not officially acknowledged if we are using armed drones or not. you have seen enough real and photoshopped images of armed drones to know that UCAV is already on cards.
a simplified armed drone is all that needed which doesnt need to be as complicated as the Predator drones.
if the main chassis of the drone can support but the weapons and the targeting & fire control system (miniaturized and light) then it will do the trick. missing that, a real time visual and a launch tube will do for a starter where the operator will have to put the cross hairs on the target and shoot the rocket .
Absolutely, a basic platform will suffice for now. It's natural as with any technological progression we will build upon it and have something that works as well as the Predator.
The official confirmation of armed drone use should also be backed up by video footage. It's time to put the fear of God into thes savages.
