You only get "one shot" while taking down a target like Iranian General Qassem Soleimani, drone expert Brett Velicovich said Saturday. SECURITY UPGRADED AT CAPITOL AFTER SOLEIMANI DRONE STRIKE, SOURCES SAYThe MQ-9 Reaper drone was used to strike Soleimani early Friday at the Baghdad International Airport. "The MQ9 Reaper is [an] advanced version of what's known as the Predator drone which a lot of people know as the drone used to strike Al Qaeda," Velicovich said. "And, basically, it's used by special operations personnel for surveillance to strike and it's a very sought-after drone that's used." President Trump, who authorized the strike, on Friday accused Soleimani of planning "imminent and sinister attacks".
