PARIS Homme Nike SF-AF1 Air Force 1 Dusty Rose Boot Pas Cher , Sept. 6 (Xinhua) -- France plans to arm drones currently used by its military for intelligence and surveillance, French media reported on Wednesday.


The plan was revealed by French Defence Minister Florence Parly at the Summer University of Defence in Toulon, southeast France.


"I decided to initiate the armament process of our drones of intelligence and surveillance," the minister told an audience of military officials and parliamentarians.


"This is a key capability of tomorrow's battles, just like armors or airplanes in their days, and France can not miss it or else our country will be left behind," she stressed.


According to Parly, the advantage of drones is that they can be mobilized "faster than airplanes," which will enable the French army to enhance "effectiveness" and limit the risk of collateral damage.


The minister did not mention when the process will begin or what kind of weapons military drones will be equipped with.


However, according to media reports quoting the minister's entourage, the six Reaper military drones that France purchased from the United States, which it expects to receive in 2019, should be equipped with weapons.


The source said that as drones are virtually undetectable to the naked eye, their deployment will "pose a permanent threat to terrorist armed groups."


The United States and Israel are already using armed drones. France is working with Germany, Italy and Spain to develop the European MALE drone, a project expected to be completed in 2025.

KUNMING, Jan. 10 (Xinhua) -- Twenty-five passengers on board a plane in southwest China city of Kunming were taken away by local police after they quarreled with the crew and opened some emergency exits of the plane on Saturday.


The China Eastern Airlines flight, MU2036 from Kunming of southwest China's Yunnan Province to Beijing, was scheduled to take off at 8:45 p.m. Friday. But it was delayed by continuing snow until the early morning of Saturday.


Passengers finished boarding the aircraft at 1:40 a.m. and then waited for ice on the plane to be cleared. An elderly woman felt uncomfortable after hours of waiting. Concerning her physical condition, many other passengers demanded explanation by the captain.


According to a passenger, the vice captain explained to the travelers, but failed to pacify them. "He was quite emotional, swore and cursed to us," said a passenger at 4:50 a.m. on microblog with his nickname Fengyunzhe Tianxingjian.


"Some passenger called police, but the pilot insisted on taking off. So passengers opened three emergency doors in an attempt to stop the flight," he said. "The pilot (vice captain in fact) has lost control and we couldn't risk to let him start."


The flight which had been taxiing then returned to the boarding gate.


A spokesperson with China Eastern Airlines Yunnan company denied that any crew member used "improper language" during the entire process. "Crew members followed the norms," the spokesperson said.


The 25 passengers involved in the incident were taken to the airport police for investigation, while the rest have been carried to Beijing by another flight.


The event drew wide attention from web users in China.


Some people showed understanding to the passengers. "After several hours' waiting, did the airline take some measures to pacify the passengers?" said Fan Kai, editor of an aviation magazine, on his microblog.


But more believed that the method passengers used was not appropriate. "It is very dangerous to fiddle with emergency doors," said Li Chengwei, a lawyer with the Yingke law firm in Kunming.


"Passengers could protect their own rights, but the right shouldn't be abused at the expense of others' safety."


Bad weather in Kunming has affected air traffic on Friday. A total of 83 flights were delayed and another 23 were canceled.
