Not that I am against taking out insurgents in “lawless” regions, I am all for it. The use of drones though is an interesting twist on a way to violate the sovereign airspace of Pakistan. We don’t seem to use manned aircraft to do these raids either here or in Somalia etc. I suppose they are unmarked or something in case they are shot down or crash from mechanical failure?

A curious diplomatic arrangement.

If the drones were AF then they would wear the USAF livery,if Agency owned then a spook paint job.

Maybe some spook markings to go with it..

Yes, it is a curious diplomatic arrangement.

We've been doing this for the last few years with the Paki government's approval. For their own internal political reasons, they don't say much about it to the Paki population.
