ORIGINAL: Gunner98 Actually even these ones, because they're observable they would cause anyone on the ground to go into hiding or move away which achieves suppression. There has been a recorded case of a drone being used in a suppression role, as detailed in the book Hunter-Killer. An RQ-2 Pioneer was heard by an Iraqi man who was driving his car, he knew from the buzz of the RQ-2 that Americans were watching and, not wanting his car to be destroyed [they're status symbols in Iraq] he got out, arms raised until US forces in an HMMVW arrived. It was the first prisoner taken by an RPA and one of a rare club of prisoners taken by aircraft. Ferret
