Any news about this? I guess there is still no official news about the purchase of drones?

Re: Belgian Air Force to acquire MQ9 Reaper drones?
the Predator B is indeed the best option, this aircraft is able to fly in civilian airspace.
this aircraft is specially designed to fly where every crewed aircraft is allowed to fly.
new sensors have been built in, ADSB and TCAS will have what makes this device not only fly in a specially designated area.
this device has also been purchased by the netherlands and UK, which can save costs on logistics, know how and missions.
if you ordered aircraft from Israel, the matter would only cause problems as we now see with the B-hunter.
