#1 If the drone didn't shoot back its not an accurate test.

#2 Did the stupid Pakistanis were ever told clearly that they face inhalation if they never learned to talk and act straight. The more we kiss their ass the more we end up paying them to harm us. It is horribly stupidity on our part to pay the Pakistanis only to spit on our face. The stupid Pakistanis has to be told very clearly that they face inhalation at any moment US desires to do so and there will be no power in the world to come to their help at the expense of a nuclear holocaust because they lost to cheat the world powers with the end of the cold war. Pakistan is nothing more than a failed state. Unfortunately, Pakistan will be the first target to be annihilated for the sake of the world peace just because this stupid failed nation has the nuclear bombs. I hope, they know it and behave civilized.

#7 Now I know I was in the intel business too long - I not only recognize the weapon (ZU-23/4), but the location - Finsterwalde Airfield, 20 miles east of Berlin. Probably taken in the late 1960's/early 1970s. Was a pretty good weapon for something only modestly radar-guided (information fed by radio, input by hand). Mid-1940s technology.

Thanks, Fred/John, for the reminder!

IF the Paks had this weapon, they still wouldn't be capable of shooting down a Predator with it. Not to mention that if they have the updated version (ZSU-23, chassis-mounted, with integrated fire control radar, late 1950's, early 1960s technology), they probably STILL couldn't be guaranteed to hit a Predator. Too small, flies too low, too slow.

#8 Did the stupid Pakistanis were ever told clearly

Of course they have been, annon, and by some of their own people, too. But Pakistan is, after all, the Land of the Pure, so even though they have lost every war they've ever fought -- each of which they started -- they somehow still think they have a fearsome military.
