All right, we're live.
It looks like some glitch happened, but let's
get into our subject for today, which is
the Grim Reaper You ever heard we all
know what the Grim Reaper is.
It's like some reference to Some murderers or
something in England back in the day, but
we're talking today about the General Atomics MQ
-9 Reaper, which is one of the most
dangerous weapons in the world today and Only
the United States makes it a company called
General Atomics makes it Almost at any minute
you you get a chance you could type
in the MQ-9 Reaper.
It's interesting here They refuse to sell this
to Israel, but Americans have been using the
Grim Reaper or the the Reaper Over Palestine.
They're saying that they're looking for the Americans
there the American victims But this Reaper can
fly 50,000 feet and Its cameras can
penetrate through the clouds how I don't know
but it's a drone and it's About 30
yards long.
I think almost gonna put pictures up now
All right, so it's an unmanned aerial vehicle
a UAV All right component of an unmanned
aircraft system capable of remotely controlled autonomous flight
operations I wonder where they fly it from
like Langley, Virginia or what obviously they take
it on a boat across or maybe on
a plane military plane because it's not so
huge and then they Lift off from there.
I think you'd go 24 hours before Before
they need to recharge it or refuel it.
I mean obviously it's not it's not it's
Needs fuel it's not battery-operated obviously It's
remote controlled it can You can put missiles
on it.
You can nuke you can put nukes on
this thing on the Reaper to the origins
is a company called general atomics and they
used to call this the predator be one
and It will at first flew in 2001
way back and Abraham Karam Karam is the
designer.
Let's see who he is.
Who is the original designer of this thing?
Abraham Karam He's an Iraqi Jew All right,
so he is an Iraqi Jew That's not
relevant to the case.
It just happens to be that's his biography
He graduated as an aeronautical engineer He built
his first drone for the Israeli Air Force
during the Yom Kippur War in the 70s
Or sorry, yeah during the Yom Kippur War
and then he migrated to the u.s.
And now of course all of his information
is supposed to be Copyrighted essentially If that's
the right word for it, what's that?
What's the right word for that one?
It's not copyrighted trademarked yes, and Israel is
dying to get this Russia is dying to
get this information The u.s. Has only
sold it to seven nations and they refuse
for some reason which is pretty strange to
me They refuse to sell it to Israel.
Let's get some other pictures of the of
this thing Frozen again When now it's the
camera that's frozen geez What's going on here
So only the cameras frozen but the voice
is still going okay Just the image is
frozen now in Dubai Wait, sorry in in
Yemen back in September They shot one down
and that was a huge big deal because
I Think they only have 300 and it
cost 30 million to make one That so
shooting down a Reaper is a big deal
All right general atomics Reapers cost 30 million
they can fly altitudes of 50,000 feet
and have an endurance of 24 hours now
the Voices good.
All right.
So well, you're listening to the radio now
Israel Sorry, Italy was cleared Last summer to
buy six of these drones It takes 30
mil to make it they're spending 700 mil
to buy six Right big money maker here
But of course, they're limited anyway so perhaps
What do they have surface-to-air missiles
that go
