    Drone facts



  2. scohen618 on January 12, 2022 at 5:42 pm

    This information is faulty. The main benefit is fewer American lives are put at risk? We are creating more terrorism than we can stop, only in America do people not realize the anti-American sentiment around the world because of the atrocities the U.S. government is using for "national security." Check out Medea Benjamin’s book Drone Warfare, or the Drone Papers on the Intercept, or Unmanned, the documentary by Brave New Films for accurate information.

    There are no Pros
    It’s cowardly and absolutely dismissing the Geneva Conventions and every human rights!

    These Suspected Terrorists are over 90% the time civilians.

    Stop Drone warfare!
    Stop War in general!



  4. mikeltronski on January 12, 2022 at 5:43 pm

    how to ruin warfare, well this is one way!
    war was meant to create heroes and brave men/woman, not play station like fan boys.



  5. L Kc on January 12, 2022 at 5:46 pm

    it makes the american people insensitive to wars in other countries because unlike in vietnam americans now do not return in bodybags. Warfare is now just a game to USA.



  6. iBunn on January 12, 2022 at 5:46 pm

    Who is the guy reporting



  7. irror_ on January 12, 2022 at 5:47 pm

    "independent research groups" really fucking reliable and trustworthy



  8. 32stevo on January 12, 2022 at 5:50 pm

    i see no downsides…



  9. Sam Nugent on January 12, 2022 at 5:51 pm

    I see drones becoming a staple of modern conventional warfare – imagine a swarm of drones salvaging a column of armoured vehicles with mounted AGM’S, bomb and cannon. You run the risk of minimal casualties while inflicting crippling blows on the enemy



  10. Sham's VLOGS on January 12, 2022 at 5:54 pm

    I dont understan… How some nomads from middle of nowere can be threat to USA



  11. Shaun Snapp on January 12, 2022 at 5:55 pm

    Terrorists = People You Disagree With



  12. Falmataa roorroo on January 12, 2022 at 5:55 pm

    Ethiopian dictator abiy ahmed is using them effectively and killing civilians in mass very sad turkey and uae are to blame for



  13. Dave Santiago on January 12, 2022 at 5:56 pm

    They will replace maned flight warfare but there will still be need for ground troops to deal with the fallout after. An oppressor can’t control a population from remote control.



  14. LightningDragon on January 12, 2022 at 5:59 pm

    Isnt it kind of ironik from the USA designing those drones like Planes and firing them on terroist buildings?



  15. Andy B UK on January 12, 2022 at 6:01 pm

    i bloody love this channel!



  16. Ray Operator on January 12, 2022 at 6:01 pm

    Skynet had drones that searched human targets. When it found humans it would inform the t-1000 to take them out. Sometimes even send infiltrators who are the worst. The only defence we have are German Shepherds, and John Connor.



  17. J. Buck on January 12, 2022 at 6:01 pm

    hey nerdwriter, why don’t you bring up the fact that during a five month period, over 90% of the people killed were NOT the intended target and that many of the people civilians killed in are classified as enemies.



  18. Feelthefx on January 12, 2022 at 6:03 pm

    Is that Jim from The Office?



  19. no hassle on January 12, 2022 at 6:04 pm

    It’s only a matter of time before Terrorists get drone tech. Then what?



  20. NaturalMelody on January 12, 2022 at 6:04 pm

    so basically for every 10 people they kill, one is innocent, that is shameful



  21. Dylan Gill on January 12, 2022 at 6:05 pm

    People don’t understand the dangers of what these UAVs are doing. Just you wait.



  22. Michael Hartman on January 12, 2022 at 6:05 pm

    Death of innocents is tragic, but let us consider the alternative blanket bombing. Instead of a building/factory and possibly destroying the buildings on each side an entire town or section of a city is destroyed. If the objectors howl at a few thousand, what would they say to orders of magnitude more? Some people are never satisfied, yet give no realistic and feasible solutions. If they can wave their magic wands and make war and strife go away then tell them to do so. Maybe through them we will have peace in our own time.
    Even a child knows the difference between a video game and killing someone. Anyone that realizes the differences will be affected. If bomber crews that never see their victims can be affected then those who see their enemy and pull the trigger will be affected just as someone looking through a scope.
    Thank you for the video.



  23. Robson on January 12, 2022 at 6:06 pm

    Video aged like milk. Now that drone warfare is not more monopoly of the US, it is going to be best preffered way of war. Ground invasions will become too hard if the troops are being killed from air/distance like ants.



  24. reno punzalan on January 12, 2022 at 6:06 pm

    Azerbaijan drones-Am I a joke to you?



  25. warm breeze on January 12, 2022 at 6:08 pm

    Drones are future



  26. snurk agurk on January 12, 2022 at 6:08 pm

    Are we just gonna ignore that those americans were from, you know, ALQUEDA



  27. Mohammad Usman Ali Qureshi on January 12, 2022 at 6:08 pm

    "Fewer AMERICAN LIVES are put at risk",how the hell can american lives different, superior or vital as compared to other lives?



  28. Corona Chan on January 12, 2022 at 6:08 pm

    I support the use of drones. It’s better than use unwilling conscripts. All its current problems can be solved with better ai and better targeting & identification systems, which are always improving.



  29. Anuradha Dhananjaya on January 12, 2022 at 6:10 pm

    According to these western media civilian killed by us attacks are secret and should not be critizese.but if russia did this its called war crimes



  30. syed zubair on January 12, 2022 at 6:11 pm

    Drone strikes killed innocent people than bad people. US gov should apologise.



  31. Paola Sanchez on January 12, 2022 at 6:11 pm

    ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️



  32. Anton Gilljam on January 12, 2022 at 6:12 pm

    You said it could be as big as a 757. Yet in the video there’s an outline of the 747 which is ALOT bigger.



  33. littlebrowndog on January 12, 2022 at 6:12 pm

    If another nation decided to kill its suspected enemies here in the US, would you be OK with that? If not, is it because we are "special" and should have different rules than the rest of the world? What would your reaction be if a drone strike launched by Pakistan killed someone in your neighborhood?



  34. Killers on January 12, 2022 at 6:15 pm

    If a American joins a group like Isis than they should be killed to



  35. snurk agurk on January 12, 2022 at 6:15 pm

    Im fully in favor of drones, I just think we should be careful about who we bomb



  36. Israr Ahmad on January 12, 2022 at 6:18 pm

    so you mean American lifes are more important than Pakistani lifes !



  37. Struggle Gaming on January 12, 2022 at 6:18 pm

    That Playstation mentality excuse is bullshit. Stare at a missile screen 20k ft over a target at 2 miles away or at 2000 miles away it’s all the same now, their not dogfighting or strafing targets their staring at the same screens in the air as on the ground.

    Ever watch love CAS footage, it’s just like the video games, and that’s with ppl. Not gonna risk American lives just so you can think the airmen feel guilty.

    Civilians are killed because they allow targets to be embedded within civilian areas, or are used by targets as human shields, as a guerrilla tactic.

    To be clear, the United States can easily wipe out the entire military structure and civil infrastructure of every Arab nation; they could probably do it in less than a year. What they are fighting are non-established targets, effectively people within people, who have no qualms about fighting with hit-and-run and ambush tactics, much like in Vietnam.

    I’ll be glad once the oil runs out; and we lack the reason to give a shit about anything that happens on the Arab peninsula ever again.



  41. Joshua Wagner on January 12, 2022 at 6:23 pm

    What is the difference between a DRON and a C130? Nothing other then they ane sets in an office they have the same rules of engagement.



  42. NeovisionX on January 12, 2022 at 6:24 pm

    When fucking skynet comes online and these drones turn against us, I will be there to tell you that your were warned.



  43. Mark Legaspi on January 12, 2022 at 6:26 pm

    Fck it just have all of them everywhere



  44. john smith on January 12, 2022 at 6:31 pm

    only cons is jammer make drone useless for now in a conflict again nation who have technologies



  45. Lyndall Kay on January 12, 2022 at 6:31 pm

    bombs dont miss



  46. Cornvus Cornax on January 12, 2022 at 6:33 pm

    If your using drones then hire pro Starcraft players instead of soldiers



  47. Brandon Austria on January 12, 2022 at 6:33 pm

    In a MILITARY way of thinking, why is the "playstation mentality" wrong? I mean, if you are in the armed forces in a combat job, specially infantry or rifleman, the military makes you read books that teaches you how to be a "better soldier" mentally speaking. One of the things they try to teach you is that there shouldn’t be any remorse taking a life when taking out a person devoted to do bad activities or taking the lives of other innocent people. And the use of drones would actually spare, for those who are more mentally sensitive, the mental consequence of taking a life. So you kill a bad guy through a monitor AND you don’t end f****d up mentally for taking a life. WIN/WIN



  48. OfficialSbarton on January 12, 2022 at 6:34 pm

    "They can be as large as 747’s"…..that’s when I stopped watching. To my knowledge there isn’t any Drones that size [yet]



  49. Pablo Hernandez on January 12, 2022 at 6:36 pm

    As big as a Boeing 757 plane, yet he shows an Airbus A380 picture.



  50. Cody Williams on January 12, 2022 at 6:39 pm

    If i was a country dictator, I would drop 90% of the military budget and put it all into drones. Have a million drone army.
