The false black widow is the most dangerous biting spider in Britain
For 10 years, the Reaper drone has remotely put RAF Waddington personnel on the frontlines in Iraq, Syria and other combat zones.
Over the last decade, the Reaper Force has launched weapons 1538 times and spent 155,000 hours in the sky. The Reapers will soon be replaced by new Protector drones, with RAF Waddington hoping to bring them into operation in 2024.The main difference with this will be the Protector’s ability to fly directly from RAF Waddington, as the Royal Air Force prepare for the future of military operations.
“I am immensely proud of everything XIII Squadron has done here at RAF Waddington, firstly on Operation Herrick and secondly on Operation Shader, and it’s really heartwarming to see a dedicated team deliver 24/7 operations of Reaper here in Lincolnshire. “The majority of time you deploy overseas for operations, but now you can do these operations back here, so the big change has been balancing that intense working nature with your home and family life, and the challenges that brings also.
They said: “We process imagery and video from the Reaper, tracking and identifying potential targets, and then pass on the intel to senior commanders who will make an informed decision.
