Are we prepared for a future of drone warfare?
Newsy
Drones open up new stealth and agility capabilities for warfare — but is the West ready to defend against them?
Military strikes in a future of drone warfare are more stealthy, more agile and potentially more effective.
"It's like when the tank came on the scene and when the submarine came on the scene, when the machine gun entered the the scene in the beginning," Lt. Col. Daniel Davis told Scripps News.
But the recent militant strike on a military base in Jordan that killed three U.S. servicemembers and injured dozens more begs the question: Are we ready for this future?
"You know in terms of capabilities, there is a huge difference across the [NATO] alliance," said Federico Borsari, a fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis.
Borsari co-authored research concluding some NATO powers are ill-prepared to counter enemy drones.
