Very interesting. Looks like a Predator or some kind of UAV feed.



I could do with one of those at work

I haven't received the 2006 edition of The Military Balance, I can't ID those Colombian aircraft.

Tucano, perhaps?

He almost made it to the border, based on the comms. I take it that ROE does not allow for pursuit over the border.

Pretty good ID off of that crappy imagery. I had no idea what it was.

I'm just guessing, but both AC looked like single engine Tucs. I know they're very popular in South and Central America for counter drug/insurgency.

That's probably what they should outfit the Iraqi Defense Forces with. Someday.

How recent was that video shot, Irish?

Sorry no idea......
