I am quite surprised we have not seen drones as instruments of terror yet.

  It’s already common for nations to do so. For individuals missiles, bullets, or bombs etc are generally more efficient as very long range drones are still expensive and cheaper options exist at short ranges.

  Not in the US, but it‘s happened. https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/37398/deadly-taliban-attack-on-governors-volleyball-playing-bodyguards-points-to-armed-drone-use https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/37398/deadly-taliban-a...

  Um... do you know how the US military uses drones?
• colordrops 5y ago
  Israelis have used them against protesting Palestinians with unidentified toxic gases.

    Plus the US has illegally killed US citizens, like Anwar al-Awlaki, with drone strikes. Then a few years later they killed his 16 year old son with a drone and his 8 year old daughter in a commando raid. All Americans. [1] Or when the US has drone striked a wedding.

  Yeah, they're supposed to shoot and bomb other people only.

  This is a handy reference to the impacts of drones being used as instruments of terror: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_casualties_from_U.S._drone_strikes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_casualties_from_U.S._...

  How would you characterize the US use of drones? (The USAF vet asks...)
