more importantly
>60 year old spy plane that was able to be shot down after only four years of service is spying on things

>>33323753
As opposed to all those aircraft that are clearly invincible because they've never been shot down

>>33323874
You don't seem to understand the point of a spy plane

>>33323924
are you implying ISIS has active SA2 or better and know how to use them?

>>33323924
You think the point of a spy plane is to be immune to massive anti-aircraft systems?

You think an MC-12 or a Predator is immune to an SA-2?

ISIS unironically owns multiple captured SA-2 batteries

Oh shit you better call the airforce since you apparently have better intel than they do. I mean look at all the russian and coalition aircraft that air getting shot down in syria.

If you lose a predator no one cares

Dont U-2s use SLARs and shit like that these days instead of flying over and taking pics?

>>33323739
The U-2 has been pretty commonly used when UAVs lack the range required.

The U-2 also flies well above all the ass that is Syrian airspace.

Plus it is cheaper than using satellites.

SR71 remains undefeated by everyone except a budget committee

Sad kek

The view must be comfy as fuck, but holy shit, how do you stay awake for the duration of a mission? The damn thing flies slightly faster than the Wright Flyer.

ISIS is trying to melt back into the desert, like AQI did after we kicked their ass.

Bono can do ISR over those big-ass areas, w/o braking a sweat.
