Libyan Rebels Are Flying Their Own Minidrone

The Libyan revolutionaries are more of a band of enthusiastic amateurs than experienced soldiers. But it turns out the rebels have the kind of weaponry usually possessed by advanced militaries: their very own drone.Aeryon Labs, a Canadian defense firm, revealed on Tuesday that it had quietly provided the rebel forces with a teeny, tiny surveillance drone, called the Aeryon Scout. Small enough to fit into a backpack, the 3-pound, four-rotor robot gave Libyan forces eyes in the sky independent of the Predators, Fire Scout surveillance copters and manned spy planes that NATO flew overhead. Don’t worry, it’s not armed.

Nu ja, aan de andere kant: als de Navo de rebellen actief steunt, dan kun je een bedrijf in zo'n Navo land moeilijk kwalijk nemen dat ze zulks verkoopt aan die rebellen.
