You're discussing one particular example of an UCAV as though it were the only UCAV ever. For instance, "The Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle (UCAV) is a millitary aircraft currently under developement of the USA's DARPA..." should be rewritten as "One example of an Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle (UCAV) is a military aircraft currently under development by the USA's DARPA...", and so on. PML.

Contents 1 UAV is not UCAV! 2 Al-Kaida loves UCAVs! Beijing too and Putin is also happy. 3 Chinese J-5s + J-6s + J-7s ---> UCAVs? 4 Would a dedicated air-to-ground UAV be a UCAV or not?

[edit] UAV is not UCAV!

seems like there are a lot of UAVs in the list (Saab types?). This list is about combat drones (UCAV) and combat drones technology demo (UCAVTD) not tactical drones (UAV/TUAV)! please check your entries and remove the UAV/TUAV thanks. Shame On You 16:33, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Al-Kaida loves UCAVs! Beijing too and Putin is also happy.

The big benefit of UCAVs is that it closes the gap between superpowers and small countries. Right now the difference between US and Swaziland military might is a few thousands tanks, fighter-bombers and a 400-strong navy, manned by over a million convincedly patriotic yankees. Only one in every 100,000 GI Joe is susceptible to islamic/chinese/russian brainwash.

After robot warcrafts appear, however, the difference in power will be just a few l44t persons with laptops and folding umbrella antenna dishes. If Swaziland has better hackers, they can breach military satcoms and turn the american robot crafts against their masters. It is stupid of USA to discard its undisputed leadership in manned military might for dumb robots. In contrast to human soldiers who are individuals and have souls, all robots are alike or the same. One is hacked, all of them are hacked, because the method is the same. This will bring the fall of the free world as we know it. BTW, Russia has the best hackers in the world, their programmers are very good. 81.0.68.145 20:30, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chinese J-5s + J-6s + J-7s ---> UCAVs?

Where can I find more information about Chinese J-5s, J-6s & J-7s becoming UCAVs? can anyone point me to the right direction? Thank you TheAsianGURU 19:05, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Would a dedicated air-to-ground UAV be a UCAV or not?

The Mikoyan Skat is a dedicated air-to-ground platform, so is it still a UCAV, despite the lack of air-to-air capabilities? —Preceding unsigned comment added by CeeWhy2 (talk • contribs) 10:21, August 24, 2007 (UTC)
