Drones – Who Makes Them And Who Has Them?

Drones – Who Makes Them And Who Has Them?: "Why have drones been in the news so much in recent years?
Drones have been developed for decades by various countries. They came to their recent military prominence  due to two factors: (1) technological advances allowing unmanned flying objects to be accurately guided over large distances and (2) better intelligence gathering on the ground, which makes it possible to pinpoint and strike high-value military targets while keeping civilian casualties and other collateral damage as low as possible.
The administration of U.S. President Barack Obama began using them on a large scale against militants and Al-Qaeda terrorists in the tribal regions along the Afghan-Pakistan border."
