Extra: The Evolution of Drone Warfare
from The Fox News Rundown · host FOX News Podcasts
Iran has — for years — been developing drone technology to share with adversaries of the United States and Israel. And now, Iran’s military is using them for attacks in Israel and countries hosting American troops. The first American deaths in the U.S.-Israel military operation against Iran were in a one-way drone attack in Kuwait. The Russia-Ukraine conflict is considered to be the first real drone war, with both sides using them for attacks on a large scale. Their use in military strikes dates back about 20 years. FOX News Rundown host Chris Foster recently spoke with FOX News Contributor and Army Special Operations Intelligence Analyst Brett Velicovich about his experience using drones in combat and how they’re changing the battlefield. Velicovich, who is also the founder of the drone company Powerus, talked about the use of drones in Operation Epic Fury and his concerns about terrorists using them anywhere in the world — including the U.S. We often have to trim our interviews during the week, but we thought you’d like to hear the full conversation.
