General Atomics ’ Avenger — the New iteration of the definitive piranha — is head to warfare for the first clip , Danger Room ’s David Axe report . It ’s got F-35 sensors , slews of stealth weapons bay , and terrain - traverse radio detection and ranging . Iran : start licking your rim .
Axe suspect the raw drone is intended for Iran , not Afghanistan , where its stealth capableness do n’t really make sense against the primitive Taliban . But either way , one has to query the judgment of sending over our latest and greatest just two week after we lost the antecedently latest and large . The Pentagon must be somewhat confident that this one wo n’t mysteriously fly away and into an Persian gamy school gym . But the Air Force will want something in the region to show Tehran it has more up its arm . Even as the ground warfare winds down , drone strikes have remained a mainstay of blow thing up in that corner of the satellite . Just do n’t stick that sleeve directly into Tehran ’s pocket .
