Drones are technically called unmanned aerial vehicles, drones are just aircraft without human pilots onboard. They are everything from reconnaissance vehicles to unmanned crop dusters. In common terms though, drone means unmanned combat aerial vehicles, which are UAVs equipped with combat capabilities, mostly known to launch missiles.
Drone strikes have decimated terrorist networks around the world. They have killed more than 3,500 militants, including high-level commanders implicated in organizing plots against the United States. According to President Obama, “…Plots have been disrupted that would have targeted international aviation, US transit systems, European cities, and our troops in Afghanistan…these strikes have saved lives.”
