Gabriele Molinelli on Twitter: "To conclude, a quick look back at what might have been: UK had hoped to replace REAPER with TELEMOS, to be developed with France. It was to be based on BAE Mantis, but Francois Hollande's France walked away. Mali ops ended up with french UOR for REAPER, and now EURODRONE project. https://t.co/pd3wVAHv1j" / Twitter
