Predator drones, your thoughts
Forums › General Discussion › Predator drones, your thoughts-
So some individuals in the UN are considering an independent investigation into americas use of unmanned drones, ex us president jimmy carter says they are an abuse of human rights, Pakistan condem them as an attack on there sovereignty and it turns out Obama has, in 3 years sent them in 280ish times compared to bushes 52 in 8 years.
Thoughts on this subject? -
Don't really care as long as there not hitting me.

The world of technology is only advancing and growing. It won't be long until the wars are fought with robots.

I'd rather Obama send in drones 280+ times than have some monkey brained moron send his entire armed forces in somewhere like Bush did.

Wait untill I hack all the robots
And turn them against us -
Video games do not resamble even a fragment of the reality that is war.
Ive never been in one, and i hope i never will be, but one thing i do know is that in a real war, there is no such thing as a respawn. And in a real war a lot of the "rambo ima kickass" players in games would shit themselves. And yes, i admit that i would be one of the people that shits themselves.As to the drones, like karas said, i woul rather see 280 drones in the air with no casualties, than some powermongering fool sending in a whole lot of soldier that can get killed.
Soldier have families aswell, yet some monkey decides he rather sends in real men, rather than losing a drone that costs like what? 280k ( im not aware of the actual prices, but a human life is priceless, that much i do know) -

✂? 280k ( im not aware of the actual prices, but a human life is priceless, that much i do know)I do agree with sending in troops. Specialized troops. Men who decided they wanted to special forces, and signed up to not have a time of peace. Then and only then should a commander in chief use that to flex his might.
A platoon of special forces is equivalent to several platoons of well armed men.
As for the reality. You are correct, to a point. The look and sounds are pretty good. There could be a lot more firefights. And no respawn, that would help.

I think they should use them for wars. Not to spy on Americans. And even worse, soon not only will there be predators, there will be those little drones like an rc type thing that can fly down and look inside your windows.

I see no ethical difference in a drone than manned plane. Killing you with a baseball from 1 foot away, a pistol from 100 feet, a sniper rifle from 1,000 feet or a drone from 1,000 miles all are the same. You are dead and I killed you.
Now whether you deserved to be killed, was I justified, were others harmed as a by product...those are all relevant and hard questions. How far apart were we at the time I pulled the trigger... No.
Last thought in my mind, assuming (dangerous word) I'm justified in killing you, the safer I can do it, all the better.

US drone strikes target rescuers in Pakistan – and the west stays silent
Attacking rescuers – a tactic long deemed by the US a hallmark of terrorism – is now routinely used by the Obama administration

A correction on the price of drones, drones can cost anywhere from 120k, up to 400k. Not much more than that. This is because drones don't need all the safety mechanisms and armor that a fighter jet does, since it has no pilot. Drones are replaceable, pilots are not. The drones the US currently use cost around $180K, not counting weapon refills.fartex wrote:

I think they are awesome, and it is a good battle strategy. So that's all that matters
-
Cheaper than a cruise missile.
-
Excellent strategy for preserving the lives of soldiers. A robotic aircraft is replaceable, a soldier or pilot isn't.

What does this have to do with turfwars

They are a weapon so we might as well use them to avoid US casualties

I work on those RC drones and can tell you that we save American lives. I am in Afghanistan now and drones are the way of the future. The will be everywhere in time, don't want to be spyed on, then don't do things that cause suspicion. That simple!
-
McCurdle your pricing is vastly and grossly off. Our plane itself runs about 250k but the payload is over a million. And the predators have such sophistacated avionics that they are probably more near 10 mil with the hell fires included.
-
only reason countries like pakistan are against them is they're effective. shoot down a fighter and kill pilots you might turn public opinion in this country. shoot down a drone, plenty more where that came from. screw the un drones save military lives.
-
How many drones have we lost?? Very few lol they are really hard to shoot down, but sometimes they have mechanical failure.

A monkey is much more intelligent than GWB. -
