Can it refuel in mid-air?

Qatar is even more West of UAE which is nearly a 50min flight.

And flight to Afghanistan from UAE could be...approx...2:20

So, we're talking about roughly a 3hr Flight Time of a Commercial Airliner.

This is a drone. Does it have that kind of range?

Most likely.

But....as someone speculated above, Talibs discretely handing Bagram to the Trump-Mossad nexus is a very real and present threat to Pakistan.

Kabul has thrown its lot in with Delhi.

What makes ANYONE think they wouldn't secretly invite Tel Aviv also to help destabilise Pakistan? Indeed, India could easily facilitate this. Moreover, look at Mossad's recent record in Syria, Libya, Sudan, Somalia, Yemen. Tel Aviv's ONLY strategy is to split nation states - they are experts at this.

I'm not saying it has already happened, before folks accuse me of scaremongering, but it is a genuinely plausible scenario.

That should teach Pakistan a lesson for not owning their backyard after NATO withdrawl.

They should have done what Israel did to Syria post assad and destroy all key military assets and airfields.

This is big wing Extended Range version MQ-9 ER... it has 79 feet wing span and 2600 km range. So it could have even took off from Iraq.

Thanks for sharing this. That solves the riddle.

It would be interesting to know whether this drone was shot or malfunctioned. I think the latter.

Yes. It is flying well over 30,000 ft most of the time. Taliban do not have any weapon system that can take it down at that altitude.
