The MQ-9 Reaper (together with its MQ-1 Predator predecessor) has become iconic of United States Air Force strikes in hotspots around the world. While they are very vulnerable in contested airspace (as is seen with the Houthis of Yemen downing many of them), they are extremely capable in permissive environments. Despite their high price tag (around $30 million each), countries around the world (like India and Poland) are ordering large numbers of them.

Whilst they sound very similar, non-stop and direct flights are not the same. As the name suggests, non-stop will fly between two cities without well stopping.Direct flights, on the other hand, might actually stop, en route to your destination.This concept dates back to a time when stops on flights were much more common than they are today. But the terminology remains the same, and is often confused.
