| #11 PM article doesn't mention drones. Besoeker pretty much covered it re ISR, BDA and slow, tactical, precision strike. I'll just add on. IMNSHEO, drones are not yet fully usable in a dynamic combat situation. As far as Wild Weasel (HARM), methinks again that the situation is going to be much more fluid than what the 'armchairs' will expect. Again IMNSHEO, methinks the North Korean military will have benefited from its ties to other belligerent/rogue nations and will not be as... incompetent... as assumed. |

| #10 Barry blinked AND he has to save face over the failed $435K how to use a condom stimulus; what better way than slobbing pudgie two losers racing to the bottom. and barry will win, POS. |

| #9 Do NOT let the little bastard save face. Put a fist in his face and force him to back off or else. Anything else is projecting weakness which is how Obama got us into this mess in the first place. Ever notice how it's donk presidents projecting weakness who get us into the really nasty wars? |

| #7 Of course he did. It's only surprising that Barry hasn't donned his kneepads and hurried to NK to show his devotion to thugs, his lack of spine and manhood and most of all, any sign of being an actual American. |

| #5 How many can they throw into the skies? If they can launch thousands, it might be useful for decoy and defense-saturation purposes. Also for lighting up radar sites for HARM purposes. |

| #4 Sorry your Lordship. It was you who asked the question, not Skid. |

| #3 Good question Skid. Could be a number of reasons. Drones or UAV's are primarily an Intelligence Surveillance and Recce (ISR) tool. UAV's can also be used to vector strike aircraft such as A-10's to their target or provide bomb damage assessment (BDA). Some models when armed, can also be used in a tactical, precision strike role. For obviously reasons UAV's fly relatively low and slow, which makes them [some but not all of them] highly vulnerable to sophisticated radar, missile and anti-aircraft fire. The reason that immediately comes to mind as to why they were not mentioned may point to a US strategic response as opposed to precision tactical strikes. Other, both air and non-air breathing platforms can provide the larger, strategic look and follow-on BDA. |
