Air Force Planning New Drone Fleet For Pakistan

mattnyc99 writes "With tensions high on the border, a new commander in Afghanistan, and complaints of civilian deaths from robotic US strikes in Pakistan raising anti-American sentiment, the Air Force is sketching out concepts for new robotic hitmen, reports Esquire.com. Among the new drones (which are all very small) are the Suburb Warrior (loaded with four or five mini missiles for semi-urban environments), the Sniper targeting system ("that can lock on to multiple targets, allowing a single drone pilot to coordinate the attacks of a squadron of robots"), and a backup fleet of flying buggies that act as suicide-bomber snipers. From the article: 'Picking through the dozens of systems in this briefing, many of which will be flight-tested within five years, there's a clear set of goals: build smaller, even microscopic drones with smaller weapons that can hunt in swarms and engage targets in the close quarters of urban battlefields. And hunt as soon as possible.'"

Talk about Warmongering

[anonymousNR]

It just occurred to me that this is just another weapon like gun, it will get distributed all over the world and we would have more of current violent condition all across the world.

It doesn't matter what guns are sent and whether they are manned or not, as long as there are Warmongering leaders across the world pretending to protect these kind of developments are more to come.

Just because military technology gives birth to greater breakthroughs it doesn't mean we can step over the damage it causes.
