  3. The predator is also capable of carrying bombs.

  4. The Predator  

  5. we could tell ya but then we'd have to kill ya

  6. Not operationally.  That doesn't mean there aren't any fully developed and tested that we won't find out about until they start using them, like the 117 and B-2.  They are flying a few dozen missions every day with unmanned aircraft capable of carrying ordnance like the Predator and Reaper.  

  7. Not exactly a bomber, but I know the Predator is capable of carrying rockets for firing at ground targets.

  8. yes

  9. The two categories of Military aggressive combat aircraft are Fighter and Attack.  One is designed for Air to Air engagement while the other delivers weapons against ground targets.  The later would have included 'Bombers' but 'Bombs' of that era consisted of ordinance that was dropped or launched, i.e. LOFT, and would free fall to the target.

    Todays Attack Aircraft use propelled weapons that have increased range from launch and can react to guidance.  In that regard, the Predator (http://www.airforce-technology.com/proje... ) is just one example of an unmanned weapons delivery system and has been succesful in attack of ground targets.

  10. YES. LOOK UP THE MQ-9 REAPER.
