Eagle ARV is enough?

Aren't we ever going to acquire anymore of the spyplanes? Other types maybe? obviously the eagles are not enough. in case a war break out, the eagle won't do much in helping us safeguarding our borders. Besides having a significant radar observability, the plane is also slow and small in number. it also has the inability to bring along weapons. The cameras and pheripherals are not even impressing me. It has to fly low to get the needed data/picture. Low enought that it can be shot down by an M-16. With no testability in the battlefield, the plane is minimally satisfying our need for an airborne reconnaissance platform.


The Predator of the USA has been operational since 1995, is currently the most advanced UAV. Malaysia's Eagle ARV has a long way to go to catch up with the Predator.
