IS recorded this drone attack on Syrian targets in Raqqa. The weapon dropped looks like a grenade matched with a tail does not look like other weapons that had more complex fabrication (viewed on video below).
After four decades of the technological superiority of Western military forces, where the performance of drones have evolved and perfected military techniques, tactics and procedures (TTP), such capabilities are becoming common on both sides of the battlefield. For many years armed drones (also known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles – UAV) were available only to a handful of western nations. Today, armed drones are offered by many – new suppliers include Turkey, China, Iran, and Poland. These UAVs are turned into target acquisition systems, aerial attack platforms, and loitering weapons, able to strike enemy forces with deadly precision.
The availability of drones is not limited to military forces, exploiting commercially available systems, terrorists and insurgents throughout the world are embracing drone technology, particularly those offered by Chinese companies that are not regulated by export laws.
