MoD wants mini-drones for Afghanistan

 MoD wants mini-drones for Afghanistan: "The MoD has put out a public tender worth £20 million for bidders to provide the aircraft weighing as little as 200 gm each by autumn.

With the RAF laying off over 1,000 of its personnel in the next months to keep up with the MoD cuts the new announcement means it is shifting to a robot-based force at least in Afghanistan.

The RAF has already deployed its Predator drones in Afghanistan, which can carry Hellfire missiles and Paveway bombs.

Britain is also flying Desert Hawk drones in Afghanistan for surveillance operations in Helmand province, which weight as little as 3.5 kg."
