Military Drone Lost Over Lake Ontario

Posted by samzenpus on from the hide-and-seek dept.

First time accepted submitter slipped_bit writes "An MQ-9 Reaper drone has gone down over Lake Ontario during a practice mission. The flight, being operated by the New York Air National Guard's 174th Attack Wing in Syracuse, NY, was going well for about three hours before contact with the aircraft was lost. A search was started but had to be postponed due to weather."

    Are you really concerned about an invasion of the US mainland that will entail MIGs? You realize the cold war ended 25 years ago right?

    You also realize the cost of a drone verse the cost of an F-16 that will never be deployed? I think your complaints about tax dollars are a little skewed.
