LLAD enters service

The important MQ-14 Long Loiter Attack Drone (LLAD) has been cleared for production and the first drones have already entered service (albeit final pre-production examples). LLAD is a long-ranged subsonic drone designed for patrol and strike roles. LLAD is stealthy though thought not good enough for a strike against a top-rate air defence.

It is seen as a key part of the DDSAF though there had been thoughts it might be delayed because of the war. 220 will be built.
