Another Woodstock contribution to attacks on civilians in Yemen



We've reported before on Woodstock's Ametek Rotron supplying crucial components to the Saudi Air Force for its war crimes in Yemen. Here's more evidence: photos that appeared on social media after Houthi rebels shot down a US drone in October 2017 clearly show its made-in-Woodstock component:


The US Atomics MQ-9 Reaper came down in a crowded area of Sanaa. According to Military Times, which reported the incident, "The MQ-9 is predominately an armed hunter-killer drone but the unmanned aircraft is also capable of surveillance and intelligence collection."

As the Yemeni civilians in the picture stare at the downed drone they see the yellow label of its component that reads "AMETEK ROTRON/Woodstock, NY". Do they thank Woodstock for this gift? Do they still think of Woodstock as a town of peace and music?
