The United States has delivered six ScanEagle unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) as part of a military assistance programme, the US Embassy in Beirut announced on 2 April.
Northrop Grumman expects to deliver its first optionally manned Firebird aircraft to a US government customer before mid-2019. The company will demonstrate the aircraft in Europe and the Middle East in 2019 and in Australia in 2020.
The CIA and the U.S. Army have been using a new type of missile for some drone strikes in recent years, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal and echoed by several newspapers and web sites. The AGM-114 R9X, or "flying Ginsu," doesn’t explode but instead deploys six sharp blades, hitting and shredding targets without harming people and material nearby.
