Predator or Reaper UAV & Royal Navy officer saves lives

British Royal Navy officer narrowly averted a bad decision that could have ended up in friendly fatality. The Predator or Reaper UAV received clearance to engage in a section of troop which he believed were hostile forces, the officer then took it up on his self to cancel the engagement as the section were dressed in local attire and didn’t have the same walk, infact they were special forces. This slight mistake could have been a fatal one which may have had serious consequences.

In my opinion is it not about time all the military forces started using safety measures, I mean I understand the pressure of a conflict and been contacted by an enemy force can be fast and aggressive but and sometimes a rapid decision needs to be made but certain measures should be undertaken to prevent friendly fire incidents.
