Imagine Iran a democracy? Now there's a fantasy. Keep pretending that the ME is full of people teaming to be free. Meanwhile scoff at the Easter Bunny!
Regarding Drones: We've had BVR (beyond visual range) Air-to-air( AA) missiles for years. But the Rules of engagement (ROE) still require positive visual ID by the pilot (a human),negating the advantage of the range of our missiles and AA radars. (Remember the Iranian Airbus and the Vincennes? I know no one on our ship feels good about it, if those were really innocent pilgrims on that plane.). How could we leverage the cheap, VERY capable drones under such concerns? We geeks are pushing our technologies beyond where we are comfortable to exploit the advantages. I'm not saying this is bad, but in general we require human in the loop, which requires a situational awareness beyond our AI abilities. Remember Skynet became aware yesterday...
