A fleet of these things could raise some real hell with Iraqi commanders. Picture a few dozen of them, circling like vultures, waiting to assassinate enemy commanders. Just like how we took out that Al-Qaeda terrorist with an armed Predator about a month ago.
Can the Predator carry anything big enough to kill a T-72 or other big Russian tanks?

Can the Predator carry anything big enough to kill a T-72 or other big Russian tanks? That's precisely what the AGM-114 "Hellfire" missle was designed for (not the 72's specifically, but tanks in general). It was designed to take out any tank currently operating in the world.

My understanding is that they UCAVs are armed with Hellfire missiles, which I believe are capable of penetrating the armor of a T-72 from above.
