"Air Weapons: The Little Little UAV Killer"

"January 21, 2020: The U.S. Air Force recently successfully tested the APKWS II (Advanced Precision Kill Weapons System) laser-guided missile fired from an F-16 fighter and shooting down a small UAV. The F-16 was using a targeting pod, which can spot and identify small flying objects and enable the pilot to launch an AGR-20A, as the APKWS used on jets is called, to hit a small, slow-moving target operating at low altitude."

WILL SHOOTING DOWN A DRONE COUNT AS A "KILL" FOR ESTABLISHING FIGHTER PILOT ACE STATUS??

See previous blog entry [with many additional embedded links] the topic anti-drone weaponry.

It is all the rage.
