The use of lethal drones was once an area dominated by the US, but has spread rapidly, drawing in new conflicts and causing more civilian casualties as warfare is revolutionised.
The principal battleground is Libya, where both sides in the ongoing civil war are trying to gain air superiority with cheap Chinese-made craft run by the United Arab Emirates on one side, and equally inexpensive Turkish-made drones on the other.
The use of drones intensified when, after rapid early gains, Haftar’s forces were stalled by resistance from a coalition of militias fighting for the GNA.
Haftar is supported by Egypt, the UAE and Saudi Arabia. The UAE operates a handful of Chinese-made.
Thanks to the Obama/Hillary dual regiem change that failed in every aspect and succeeded to start a civil war in the country. Just a thought.
