Venezuela's defense minister said Monday that the military is looking into building unmanned planes, possibly with help from allied countries such as Iran.

Defense Minister Gen. Raul Baduel said the military considers unmanned, remote-controlled planes to be versatile for surveillance and border patrol flights.

"There has been advancing work on the part of our military aviation on a project for pilot-less planes," he said. "They can stay in flight for various hours. They are guided by remote control and would avoid putting lives in danger while helping with border security."

In this and other aviation projects, Baduel said President Hugo Chavez's administration would search for help from "friendly governments, among them Iran."

These guns of justice have been to Latin America before. I'm wishing I commanded one (with Raptors for protection) and was headed for Caracas.

Lol,

Secure the border?

Since when is Chavez big on that? He actively supports and/or ignores the daily border crossings by FARC from and to Columbia. What's up Hugo? Getting paranoid your FARC buddies might be getting too big for their britches?

Hey Hugo, I believe Ted Koppel is still waiting for your proof of "impending US invasion" you promised way back.

He needs unmanned planes because all his people are moving to Miami.

Is it me, or does "Bumpity bump" sound like a disco dance craze? ;-)

I read the full article at the source and it is an interesting read. I enjoy how he makes little snide remarks about Hugo whilst stating that he does not intent to make personal attacks. Kinda like a diplomatic version of saying, "I'm not touching you!" while pretending to poke someone.

I am pleased to release this FR exclusive:

An insider just told me that the Iranian diplomat to Venezuela was carrying the following schematics for an unmanned air vehicle code named: Death from Above and have passed them to Venezuela who have created a vast army of these dangerous fighter planes...

God Speed to our fighter pilots who will face these menacing Venezuelan Air Force Top guns...
