Drones & The Other Guys

OK, call them “the enemy” if you like.

Certainly, if you’ve learned anything about the weaponized unmanned aerial vehicles — Drones — that the US is currently using, you might have wondered how long it would be until someone (or some group, or some group of nations) that we DID NOT LIKE would get the bright idea to launch drones.

They’re accurate. They’re cheap. There seems to be no risk in using them.

One could envision a group of terrorists setting up a drone piloting facility in South Carolina and sending these things to different places in the US and blowing them up. Maybe a nuclear power plant? A bridge? A bunch of bridges? A bunch of power plants?

Well, something along these lines is already happening . . . the Israelis are fighting off drones from Hezbollah. This isn’t a prediction, according to The New Republic — “it’s already begun.”

It’s not big news, is it, that some weapons cut both ways?
