10. Hunting Mad Dog Gaddafi’s missiles at 40,000ft
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/campaigns/our_boys/3573302/Joining-the-RAFs-spies-in-the-skies.html">Hunting Mad Dog Gaddafi’s missiles at 40,000ft
We are the first newspaper to have access to this undercover world and to fly aboard a Sentinel R1 surveillance aircraft.

Equipped with powerful dual radar, the plane's phenomenal scouring system homes in on the Libyan leader's advancing tanks and missiles from 40,000ft above.

Hawk-eyed image analysts - trained to find "the smallest of needles in the largest of haystacks" - track the vehicles and can then send for Top Gun-style pilots to blast the dictator's weaponry to pieces.

Although many of the radar's capabilities are classified, defence sources claim it can even see through WALLS.
