印度国防研究组织的武装无人机Rustom-2首飞
BENGALURU: After a considerable delay, Rustom-2, India's long endurance Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle (UCAV) finally completed its first flight early on Tuesday in Challakere, about 200km from Bengaluru.
The UCAV, which is in the medium-altitude, long endurance (MALE) category of vehicles, sources in the Aeronautical Development Establishment (ADE) which developed the vehicle, said "met all the expectations" during the first flight.
延期很久后，印度续航时间长的武装无人机最终于11月15日早上在距离班加罗尔200公里远的Challakere完成首飞。
负责研发这款无人机的印度航空发展机构的消息人士透露，中高空、长航时的无人武装机首飞完全符合预期。
First scheduled in late 2013, the three-year delay of the first flight had only added to the timeline, which is punctuated by other delays during development- even as the Indian armed forces are increasingly looking outside the country for combat drones with deals already struck with Israeli firms.
Rustom-2, the developers, however, claim will be an aircraft unlike any other UAV in the ranks of our forces. It has a wingspan of more than 20m and an endurance of 24-30 hours.
原计划的首飞是2013年底，耽搁了3年，期间不时被其他因素中断。对此，印度陆军越来越把目光投向海外寻找武装无人机，目前已经和以色列公司敲定了协议。
然而，研制商表示，Rustom-2与印度军队里任何一款无人机不一样，Rustom-2翼展超过20米，续航时间24-30小时。

作为印度公民，我们更迫切希望听到的是印度无人机摧毁巴基斯坦恐怖营地的消息
其他相关新闻也可以，不过没那么劲爆

It is high time we developed dragon flies, which can lift off or drop off air crafts. They should be made maxmum undetectable - neither audible nor visible, housing one person. These will be very effective in countering insurgency and targeting terrorists.

无人机要能从飞机上释放，最大程度上隐形，不仅是听不见，而且看不见，上面坐一人
用来反恐很有用
