As for UAVs, hear hear, this is something I've also been banging on about for years and years. It's amazing that the so-called military experts have only just figured out these sorts of needs.

Or at least, it's not, military bureaucracy is appalling these days - at least from a UK MOD POV. Decision making to implementation is glacial. When that decision has finally trickled down, it's usually out of date as military needs have moved on, usually resulting in a massive waste of money.

For example, this decision about UAVs, why is it going to take 3 years to increase an existing tech by 10 machines when the tech is needed NOW? It's like the UK need for helicopters, again for some reason it's going to take years just to get the helicopters the morons who make the decisions forgot to make sure we had enough of in the first place! How long does it take to build a helicopter these days FFS!?

Personally, IMO, the best decision we could make militarily is cut out about 90% of the bureaucratic cancer of the stuffed suits who do nothing but **** things up anyway, give them each a gun and some ammo, and send them human wave style at the Taliban positions!

Anyway, UAVs!
