More info from the Daily Telegraph 24/12/02 written by Toby Harnden in 
Washington: Predator a $2.6m airframe with a wing span of 27 ft fitted with 
Versatron Skyball EO/IR camera and Hellfire II (AGM 14k/m) missile/s with a 
range of up to 400 miles.

For the Predator that was shot down, it is not known if it had missiles 
fitted and was possibly hit by a Mig 29 and/or ground based anti-aircraft 
weapons.
