Description
The MQ-1 is an American strike UCAV (Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle). It was introduced in Update "Drone Age". It is available to all nations besides Russia and China. Unlike other aircraft, this is not researchable and can only be used once enough spawn points have been gained.

Survivability and armour
Crew0 people

Structural0 km/h
Gear450 km/h
Examine the survivability of the aircraft. Note how vulnerable the structure is and how secure the pilot is, whether the fuel tanks are armoured, etc. Describe the armour, if there is any, and also mention the vulnerability of other critical aircraft systems.
Armaments
Suspended armament
The MQ-1 can be outfitted with the following ordnance:
- 2 x AGM-114K Hellfire II missiles
Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).
Pros and cons
Pros:
- High altitude spawn, above most radars at its battle rating
- The Hellfire missiles are accurate and have a long range
- Can carry a lot of fuel
Cons:
- Limited payload, only two missiles
History
The MQ-1 Predator was introduced to the US on 1 July 1995 and developed by General Atomics to be a observational and attack aircraft which could be remotely controlled over long distances. This would mean there would be no danger to the pilot since there wasn't a pilot. It was retired from the USAF on 9 March 2018 in favour of the more capable and heavier MQ-9 Reaper.
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
