WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 25th July, 2020) The Trump administration has decided to relax rules on the sales of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) with speeds of less than 800 kilometers, including MQ-9 Reapers, Assistant Secretary Bureau of Political-Military Affairs R. Clarke Cooper told reporters in a telephone press conference on Friday.
The new policy will cover the sale of MQ-9 Repaers capable of lethal air strikes, Cooper said in answer to a question.
"This change, consistent with guidelines overcoming the assumption of denial poses no risk of proliferation of weapons of mass destruction," Cooper said.
