but its totaly ok to fly drones over enemy territory if we are doing it.
looking at the rig in the article i see what looks like a microwave array, with a lack of shielding for the biologicals mounted in the seats. no matter how directed the RF energy there are side lobes and a back lobe, a simple porch window screen[metallic] and an earth ground will keep the operators safe. I have a feeling the photo in the article is a showtotype,and there are tweeks to the final production that address issues and are not "top secret" but are just not expostulated for the layperson.
www.dictionary.com/browse/expostulate Expostulate definition, to reason earnestly with someone against something that person intends to do or has done; remonstrate: His father expostulated with him about the evils of gambling.
in other words constructive criticism that falls on deaf ears, and that sums up my experience with hubric institutions
Yes, it's hypocritical for the US to do it. But you know what, the only way to get them to stop is force them to stop with military force. And, quite honestly, there is no military in the world that even comes close to the US.
Also I'd rather the US control the airspace and flying drones wherever they want than some other country controlling the airspace and flying drones over the US.
