Militarys most sophisticated pieces of hardware it provides intelligence and surveillance in real time and can reach an altitude of 60000 feet thats 18000 meters much higher than a commercial aircraft and it doesnt come cheap Industry Experts say one drone costs about 130000000. 00 its been used in iraq afghanistan and north africa and parts of the Asia Pacific Region earlier i spoke to mark kimmitt hes a retired u. S. Army Brigadier General and former assistant secretary of state for Political Military Affairs under president george w. Bush he says Donald Trumps aggressive stance towards iran is not a sign that he wants war. Well i dont see those as mixed messages at all he should be outraged that american aircraft was shot down by an adversary but at the same time he cant necessarily point at that ever series could have been a mistake made by a lower level general for which he and all of us should expect that the iranian government takes actions against but i think in total what that indicates is that wall that you say its not mixed messages but its not i think its a change in tone no no no i dont think it is at all in fact the president has been remarkably consistent on the fact that he is trying to avoid war if he doesnt want to see a war he has said nothing but he doesnt want to see a warning wants to see negotiations so he has been consistent in that and but it is for anyone not to express outrage at the fact that an American Asset was shot down by a foreign adversary i think would be disingenuous.
