Pentagon: Airstrikes killed 3 Islamic State drone experts
2017-09-29
[Ynet] The US military says it has killed three men who played key roles in developing, building and modifying Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
drones.

Col. Ryan Dillon, a front man for the US-led military coalition in Baghdad, told news hounds at the Pentagon Thursday that the three were killed in a series of US Arclight airstrikes in Syria in mid-September.

Dillon says two of the men were responsible for manufacturing and modifying commercially produced drones. The other man was described as a drone developer, who was killed when his research workshop near Mayadin, Syria, was hit by two Arclight airstrikes.

The Islamic State group has used drones for surveillance and to fire small weapons, in both Syria and Iraq.

#3  I wonder if we have scanners that can find and locate drone control signals- and take over control and/or kill their drivers?
