The state of Pakistan has reported succesful military action in the border provinces against Islamic militants.

These islamic militants are being described as Al Qaeda for some readers and Taliban for others.

t Gen Safdar Hussain, who commands Pakistani forces in North Waziristan, speaking at a press conference said in the largest operation by his forces to date, missiles, heavy artillery and a chinese pilotless spy plane drone had been seized.

pretty cool eh? but very noisy.

The spy plane together with some of the arsenal reported to be confiscated is in the photo. The Pakistanis say this is the first such device to have been found in their state, and was being used by the militants to observe troop positions.

According to al Jazeera over 3,500 pakistani troops were involved in the operation, with other media reporting 21 men in custody answering tough questions.

Obviously the militant taliban al qeada mujahadeen have gone beyond flying webcams on kites- You may like to know how you can observe troop positions in your home town but lack the neccesary quarter-master contacts with Red China to purchase your own pilot-less spy plane drone.

Don't be dismayed.

here's our internet sites which will help how to make a variety of rc devices and then you add a camera (with night lense and red eye flash) make sure your optical components are cushioned in lots of bubble wrap which is light, or polystyrene pellets which are non-biodegradable and slightly heavier :-
