Armed Forces Press is the Military's premier investigative newspaper. Long suffering from an absence of patriotic media, the United States Military is in dire need of an organization which will confront and highlight bad policies.
The Military is in deep need of leadership. Armed Forces Press is committed to highlighting the tremendous courage, determination, tenacity and fortitude that our servicemen exemplify on a daily basis.
This is not a big deal or any great accomplishment by the soldier shown. The Stinger is a heat seeking missile used primarily to take down Jet aircraft. Drones are slow moving by comparison.
Just another walk in the park here!

This is BS! I served in air defense for 37 years. Fifteen of those as a stinger soldier. Looks like a gunnery to me, besides stinger missiles are heat seekers, drones don’t have enough of a heat signature for the seeker to lock on.
