Unarmed Aircraft

The United States has offered India the armed version of Guardian drones that were originally authorized for sale as unarmed for surveillance purposes, a senior U.S. official and an industry source told Reuters.

A Russian surveillance plane soared through secure airspace over Washington on Wednesday, presumably collecting intelligence as it traveled near the Pentagon, the Capitol and other government buildings, two U.S. officials said.

An unarmed Russian Air Force jet flew over the US Capitol, the Pentagon, CIA headquarters and Joint Base Andrews at low altitude as part of a treaty that allows the militaries of Washington and Moscow to observe the other from the air.

An unarmed Iranian drone flew directly over a US aircraft carrier operating in international waters in the Gulf this month in a move that was "abnormal and unprofessional," the US military said on Friday.

Iran flew a surveillance drone over a US aircraft carrier and took "precise" photographs of it as part of an ongoing naval drill, state television reported on Friday. The US Navy said an unarmed Iranian drone flew near a French and American carrier on January 12, but couldn't confirm it was the same incident.

The two Italian marines accused of killing two unarmed Indian fishermen off the coast of Kerala have returned to Italy to spend Christmas with their families. They flew from Kochi airport at 5 am in a special aircraft, escorted by top Italian officials.
