The Guatemalan Air Force (FAG) conducted the first demonstration flight of its recently acquired S4 Ehécatl remotely piloted aerial vehicle, from Mexico's Hydra Technologies.
As Guatemala's president, Alejandro Giammattei, oversaw the demonstration flight from La Aurora International Airport in Guatemala City. "This aircraft improves the capabilities of the State to continue the frontal fight against transnational crime and reinforces our security policy and defence of the nation," said Giammattei.
