UAV Attacks on Terror Organizations – The Other Side

Unmanned aerial vehicles have changed the way the battlefield works nowadays. UAVs have brought man a safer battlefield and allowed different armies to better protect their soldiers by having less of them taking physical part in battle, they are a cost effective alternative to conventional manned aircraft, and their flight time up in the air can reach over thirty hours. Many armies make frequent use of UAVs, usually for intelligence, but also for attacks. For example, the United States alone has made attacks on 408 targets between 2004 and 2014 during its fight against terror organizations – Al-Qaeda, the Taliban and ISIS.
