Video: UAVs In Use In Iraq

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Tuesday, 14 of October , 2008 at 5:07 am

While we hear a lot about how potentially useful drones are in Iraq, it’s somewhat rarer to get an account of exactly how armed and unarmed UAVs are used in battle. 60 Minutes has a piece on the battle for Sadr City, which used Shadow drones and Predator drones working together to track and engage insurgents. It gives you a sense of just how powerful these UAVs are (in the strategic sense), and how much it’s changing the way the military is doing things.
