There is a report on Reuters today that Iraqi Migs have been
violating the no-fly zone and chasing after unmanned Predator
Drones.

Wouldn't it be interesting if the next Predators were equipped with
Sidewinders rather than Hellfires.

Mike Lorrey grab your tools and meet me...

I'm there. What a killer app. Kinda like an aero-mine or air-mine: a robot
aircraft flying around, shooting down enemy aircraft who stray too close.

Since the Predator is so un-stealthy, what every Predator needs is a
constellation of small stealthy kamakaze bots flying around it's AAM
perimeter.
