Pirates use drone to track whaling fleet
 SEA SHEPHERD anti-whaling pirates say they have intercepted a Japanese whaling fleet using a military-style R/C model plane.A Sea Shepherd Buccaneer Society media huckster said they caught up with the fleet 1600 kilometres outside Antarctic waters yesterday. Captain Paul "Blackbeard" Watson said it would be a long and arduous pursuit to the coast of Antarctica but by using the drone technology, distances could be covered more quickly and there would be some cool aerial video for the media sponsors. ''We now have an advantage we have never had before - a Wal-Mart charge card providing eyes in the sky. We can cover hundreds of miles with these drones and they have proven to be valuable assets, even though groupies are not impressed with them.'' Posted by: Atomic Conspiracy 2011-12-25 |
