 * Symbol voting keep.svg	Hi The Bushranger, review follows: both articles created 16 December; both articles exceed minimum length (the first paragraph of each article is very similar but I think this is to be expected for drones created as part of the same design brief); both articles cited to (similar) reliable sources; level of referencing is good for both; no copyvio discerned; hook fact is interesting enough for me and is cited to an offline source in each article, happy to AGF on this; Two QPQs have been carried out; photo used is attributed as an official output of the US Army and so is in the public domain - Dumelow (talk) 13:56, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
