One of Canada’s new unmanned surveillance aircraft crashed on landing Friday, due to a failure of the parachute. The aircraft lands by deploying airbags and a parachute to slow its descent.
Typical of Canadian aircraft, it’s powered by a snowmobile engine.
No, seriously. It is.
Many thanks to the Canadian military for perpetuating a national stereotype. (heaves sigh)
