Well done RAF!

I was away from the phone/computer all day so I'm hearing this late.  From what I've read, a few people are complaining about using such a high tech weapon against a drone.

I disagree.

We would all be screaming from the rafters if this drone had suicided onto a barracks, fuel depot, etc...

This is what air forces were made to do!
