But, but, but . . . UAVs are supposed to be the PERFECT solution for all our air warfare needs. Who needs an Air Force with real pilots? Just put some pasty-faced videogame addicts in front of UAV monitors at some remote base in Nevada and let the REAL men fight wars on the ground. What could be simpler and more elegant?

If camel-kissing troglodyte throwbacks to the 7th Century can figure out how to hack our drones using off-the-shelf components that cost little more than family meal bucket of extra-crispy at KFC, imagine what the Russian and Chinese governments can do with their resources.

UAVs SUCK!

Videos illustrating why UAVs suck to the core. Why replace traditional maneuver warfare with push-button standoff firepower?
