I find it interesting that the USN chose to go with a refueling mission for their first aircraft carrier drone aircraft.  I would have thought fighter or bomber.  I am wondering if they are hoping to eventually build off the same platform for other missions.

Looks like the Syrians might have some explaining to do to the Russians.

Modelsivit looks like they are going to do this.  Glad to see it.
