UAVs – Smart Bomb of Iraq War

Up In The Sky, An Unblinking Eye. (Newsweek)…John Barry and Evan Thomas, June 9, 2008

The hundreds of drones cruising over Iraq and Afghanistan have changed war forever.

The UAV is the “smart bomb” of the Iraq War … . Army drones alone flew more than 46,450 hours in March.

Interesting history on the challenges and political in-fighting associated with the development of UAV capability.
