In order to ensure that the unmanned attack aircraft can not fly out of Afghanistan, so the U.S. Air Force fighter plane was ordered to catch up. Fortunately, the whole weight of 4.6 tons of “death” UAV speed of only 300 km, most of the fighter’s maximum speed is five to six times he can easily catch it.
