RAAF chief wants to buy Reaper

Royal Australian Air Force chief said he is a big fan of the Reaper and hopes Australia will buy some of the aircraft.

“I’m a great fan of capabilities that have a very multi-role aspect to them, and I think Predator-Reaper does have that,” he told Fairfax Media. “I think the combination of a good…[intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance] platform that’s weaponised is a pretty legitimate weapon system for Australia.”
