A device for photographing and monitoring insurgent activity is saving lives in Afghanistan. The Raptor, which is attached to the underneath of a Tornado jet, can take photographs and record information, which is then fed back to protect troops on the ground. In the second of our three special reports from Kandahar, British Forces News reporter Lorna Ward went to meet the engineers from the Raptor detachment, to find out more about what this high-tech machine does.
