While on a vector for a Precision Approach Radar (PAR) approach while maintaining 11;400 FT the Approach Controller called UAV traffic in our 2 to 3 o'clock position; 12;500 FT and informed us there was NO radio communications with the traffic.We were given a right turn which should have maintained a safe distance and altitude from the UAV traffic. Two seconds later while in the turn; UAV traffic turned towards our aircraft while descending to our altitude; at which time the crew received an RA advisory to descend; followed immediately by a climb advisory 'climb; climb now.'The Captain disconnected the autopilot and autothrottles; and throttles were firewalled to comply with RA advisories and the right turn steepened. Visual contact was made with the UAV; approximately less than one mile and 100 FT below moving right to left.At 12;500 FT the Captain arrested the aircraft climb per TCAS instruction 'clear of conflict' advisory and then returned the aircraft to 11;400 per ATC instructions. Then the aircraft was given a right 360 degree turn to rejoin the approach.
A B767-200 was given vectors to avoid a UAV and received an RA.
