The United States will speed up delivery of missiles and surveillance drones to Iraq as the Baghdad government battles a resurgence of Al-Qaeda linked militants, a Pentagon spokesman said January 6, 2014. “We are … looking to accelerate the FMS (Foreign Military Sales) deliveries with an additional 100 Hellfire missiles ready for delivery this spring,” Colonel Steven Warren said. An additional 10 ScanEagle surveillance drones would also be delivered he said. Hellfire missiles, originally designed as an anti-tank weapon, can be fired from helicopters or airplanes. ScanEagle drones are a low-cost three-meter aircraft capable of flying 24 hours. AFP PHOTO / Handout / US Navy / MC2 Mark A.
