ARMED RQ-9 Reaper

This larger armed Predator variant (dev name was Predator B) has been pictured before, but I FINALLY found a picture of one fully armed;

The original Predator could carry 2 Hellfire missiles.

Reaper carries 12 missiles in this load, but it has a max capacity of 14 Hellfire missiles

Looks like something out of a Terminator movie

One of the highlights of my last deployment was getting the opportunity to watch the Predator's taxing around on one of the main runways. They look kinda funky in pictures, but are quite impressive when seen in person...
