Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Mohsin Alabdali

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Reconnaissance aircraft (not UAV)

Reconnaissance aircraft (in "US Military English," per JCS Dictionary of Military Terms

A reconnaissance aircraft is not a UAV, which = surveillance drone, which term has a different equivalent expression in the Arabic.

HTH.

Khair, in shaa' Allah.

Reconnaissance plane

Strictly speaking not a UAV or a drone but you will have to decide on that from the context as this term is also used to describe predator which is a UAV or Drone. Spy plane is another commonly used term in the press which more or less means the same thing but the best English term is reconnaissance plane and then if you leave it at that the reader can make his mind up whether it is a manned recce plane like the Nimrod or an unmanned one like predator.
