Issue No. 3 | February 01-15, 2013

The Italian Air Force’s remotely-piloted vehicle - Predator stayed in the air for 24 consecutive hours in December, to carry out four distinct operational missions in the Afghan theater.

For the first time during an operational mission in Afghanistan, Predator flew for 24 consecutive hours and carried out four separate missions without landing.

Predator aircraft flew mostly over the Bakwa district, supporting a patrol of Task Force ‘Victor’ whose mission was to monitor the itinerary to be followed by an Italian vehicle convoy.
