I would think that 0 would be sensitive to cries of ‘targeted assasinations’ for the use of UAVs.
If the recent reports are to be believed, the USN were the ones who fired a few cruise missles Yemen-way recently. afaik the navy doesn’t use drones, they were launched from DDGs.
Obama has been directing drone strikes almost daily inside of Pakistan.
I was not referring to the cruise missiles launched against Yemeni targets.
Then you have all the other drones, Ram Manual, Axeworthy, Jennings,Napolitano, the list is lengthy.
These penatrators should be given to the Israelis who need them, if he wolll not use them himsef. IMHO they are ready and on schedule. Obama is POS large.
Or Submarines. But they are in effect drones. Besides which the Navy does use UAVs. Launched from DDGs, CGs, even the Iowa class BBs when they were still in commission. Some are helicopter type drones. Here's one first deployed in 1963.
Here is a Pioneer drone being recovered aboard the Iowa.
