  In light of the recent revelations by RSN of the Protectors and Spartans USV which we have been operating for some time now, my question is whether we have or are going to have similar armed unmanned vehicles for the RSAF? My opinion is that we will most likely be having a UAV armed with Hellfire or Spike missiles to engage ground targets. However, i am not sure on which UAV already in our inventory is capable of carrying weapons. Pls comment,Thanks

  No comments whatsoever. This sort of things are not, I repeat NOT, supposed to be aired without any official statement from MINDEF.

  Well, we all know that Mindef & DSTA will develop whatever weapons that are proven to be useful as seen in the Iraq war. It will not be surprising that we are heading towards that direction. But the official announcement will probably come in 5 years time?
  
  Just wait and see....

  It should be easy enough to wire up some Hydra rockets.
  
  Hmm Hellfire will its going to be a bit more challenging. Requires some serious cash.
