Robotic Air Attack Squadron bound for Iraq

Yahoo has an article about a probable upcoming deployment of a new American Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to Iraq. The MQ-9 Reaper is similar to the older MQ-1 Predator but is larger and more capable.

Follow up: The Daily Mail reports that the RAF has purchased some Reapers for deployment in Afghanistan. Interestingly, the aircraft will be remotely controlled from Nevada.
