À propos de cet audio

 The first-ever inside look at the US military’s secretive Remotely Piloted Aircraft program—equal parts techno-thriller, historical account, and war memoir

Remotely piloted aircraft (RPA), commonly referred to by the media as drones, are a mysterious and headline-making tool in the military’s counterterrorism arsenal. Their story has been pieced together by technology reporters, major newspapers, and on-the-ground accounts from the Middle East, but it has never been fully told by an insider.

In Hunter Killer, Air Force Lt. Col. T. Mark McCurley provides an unprecedented look at the aviators and aircraft that forever changed modern warfare. This is the first account by an RPA pilot, told from his unique-in-history vantage point supporting and executing Tier One counterterrorism missions. Only a handful of people know what it’s like to hunt terrorists from the sky, watching through the electronic eye of aircraft that can stay aloft for a day at a time, waiting to deploy their cutting-edge technology to neutralize threats to America’s national security.

Hunter Killer is the counterpoint to the stories from the battlefront told in books like No Easy Day and American Sniper: While special operators such as SEALs and Delta Force have received a lot of attention in recent years, no book has ever told the story of the unmanned air war. Until now. Armes et guerre Forces armées Militaire Guerre Force aérienne Moyen-Orient Aviation Force aérienne des États-Unis Technologie

“An Air Force veteran tells an exciting tale of tracking terrorist leaders by remote piloted aircraft, the future of military aviation… An illuminating tale of a pilot on the cutting edge.” –Kirkus

Really enjoyed this first person account of the US Air Force’s UAV/ Remotely Piloted Aircraft program. The author flew the General Atomics MQ-1 predator and eventually commanded a Predator Squadron overseas. I have been curious about this subject and found the first person style very engaging. The author’s description of the training, the job, the various environments he worked in and the missions really drew me in. I like the style of storytelling and the funny anecdotes peppered through the book. The author’s account of the impact the program had on operations in the field and the lives saved helped me understand the role these aircraft have. I found his account of the hunt for and killing of a terrorist in Afghanistan particularly sobering. He described his emotional struggle with this mission and others like it very well. Thank you for the lack of profanity. Great direction and narration.

Thoroughly enjoyed it start to finish

Well read story, very interesting insight into that facet of the war. Very effective tool, lots of potential yet somewhat shunned.

Excellent drone story.
