Received from a friend, amazing!

Pretty amazing technology considering a guy sitting at a console on a mountaintop near Las Vegas was piloting a drone in Syria (with both missile and 20mm Gatling gun armament).

For many reasons, including sound of armament as well as the camera angles, I question the authenticity of this video.

YMMV.

I fear for the day when that kind of stuff is happening here. And it will, I’m pretty certain.

I'm pretty sure an AC-130 was doing the shooting. Drones don't carry that kind of firepower. Plus, the ordnance was coming from a different direction than the position of the drone.

AC-130 needs to continually orbit. I think it was a helicopter gunship, not a fixed wing.

Mostly likely... Based upon the ammo counter in the lower left hand corner. The counter is toggling between the M61 Vulcan, the 40mm Bofors and the 105mm Howitzer. EVen though an AC-130 has those weapons on board, I have never seen actual footage with an ammo counter like that.
