Hezbollah Builds Runway For Suicide Drones
Truth Revolt ^ | April 24, 2015 | Peter Malcom

Posted on 04/26/2015 12:18:27 PM PDT by QT3.14

Jane’s Defence Weekly reports that Hezbollah has built a runway in the morthern Bekaa Valley to be used for drones, likely Iranian-made UAVs. New satellite images shows the runway in an area 10 kilometers south of the Lebanese village of Hermel.
Jane’s states:

The short length of the runway suggests the facility is not intended to smuggle in weapons shipments from Syria or Iran as it is too short for nearly all the transport aircraft used by the air forces of those countries. An alternative explanation is that the runway was built for Iranian-made UAVs, including the Ababil-3, which has been employed over Syria by forces allied to the Syrian regime, and possibly the newer and larger Shahed-129.

In April, the U.S. Army reported that Iran is building “suicide kamikaze drones” and teaching the terrorist groups Hezbollah and Hamas how to use them.

Sounds like a perfect job for some IDF-IT geeks. Some Hebrew-hackers.

IIRC, a “drone” aircraft has no human occupant but is under remote human control.

These are suicide aircraft, no different than the Japs’ “Baka” flying bomb. What’s next, muzzies steering “Kaiten” suicide torpedoes into surface ships?

Count on Islam to devise ever more imaginative ways of blowing its devoted followers to smithareens.

Drones, which are robots, would never self destruct. To do so would violate Asimov's three laws of robotics.

The Three Laws of Robotics (often shortened to The Three Laws or Three Laws, also known as Asimov's Laws) are a set of rules devised by the science fiction author Isaac Asimov. The rules were introduced in his 1942 short story "Runaround", although they had been foreshadowed in a few earlier stories. The Three Laws are:

A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.[1]

Oh, for simpler times!

A drone which is intended to destroy the target by crashing into it is more conventionally called a cruise missile.

I could see Hezbollah loading up a bunch of drones with chemical weapons and aiming a bunch at Israel. Send enough and a few will get through.
