I don't want any other countries to have drones. Now, I'm not saying they shouldn't be allowed. Just that I don't want them to have them. I would much rather the US be the only ones with advanced drones. Any country that refers to us as "The Great Satan" or is actively working to tear us down, is a country I don't want to have advanced drones. But, you know, I'm sure every person could say something similar wanting theirs to be the only ones with advanced drones. Understandable position. The IRI is not to be trusted, drones or not. I do feel, though, that they have the right to misdirect/shoot down drones illegally violating their airspace, as should all countries. Every country has the right to pursue National Security in defense of it's sovereignty. We agree on it. But, I must add, that I don't like that they can. [:D] quote:

It's a damn scary proposition to think that the drone that just buzzed over my head wasn't being controlled by a "friendly" force. Once the tech goes widespread that scrambles signals and/or takes control of a "foreign" drone, they'll be less reliable. Even thinking about it gets damn scary. That is how others in other nations feel at this exact moment yet the US government condones such fear. Drones are a frightening thing, regardless of who controls them. While I agree that they are frightening things, they aren't as frightening if they are being controlled by friendly forces. I don't know how far away, if there even is a limit, the "pilot" can be to effectively use the drone. I don't know what kind of range the drones have, either. According to the wiki, Iran's Karrar has a range of 1000km. And, that is most likely enough to fly some low-altitude mission from international waters into the US. Though not likely of significant range to reach my area, it's still too damn close. Yes, I think drone use outside of war is more akin to terrorism than anything., especially if it's a civilian area.
