UAVs were invented by the Israelis. After seeing their performance in the first Lebanon War, we knew we had to have them.
They’re lethally effective in that the enemy has little or no advance warning they’re there.
You would think Soleimani wouldn’t have made the mistake of being out in the open. It left him no chance to escape. Go figure.

Listening to a podcast yesterday “War Room: Impeachment” with Raheem Kassam, Steve Bannon, & Jason Miller. Tom Fitton was sitting in for Jason. Anyway, I like Raheem - he’s pretty ‘up’ on stuff & he said Soleimani had gotten arrogant & audacious & just flew into the airport like he was the Big Cheese (my description). He didn’t think anyone had the balls (especially Trump ... look at Khomenini’s tweet “you can’t do anything”) to take him out, especially not in Baghdad. I just wish that a second before he was hit with the missile with his name on it, Trump’s face could have flashed before his eyes saying “gotcha’!” Raheem also went into some detail as to what a total snake this guy was - Trump made a decision many before had passed up.
Here’s a link to that podcast:

One more reason why Trump is so effective in killing these vipers - he doesn’t tell the Democrats/Left who will leak/tip off our enemies. Someone made the comment that “Kerry’s contact list is getting shorter by the hour”!! I’m sure this is VERY true - he should be strung up for treason, along with a bunch of other Obama-Biden Admin actors & those from the current crop of pro-Iran anti-American Dems/media. From the article:
“Senior Democrats accused the President of breaching protocol by launching the air strike without notifying leading members of Congress. The ‘Gang of Eight’, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi, are typically briefed over sensitive military actions which could have significant consequences for the US.
The four Democrats in the Gang of Eight said they were not briefed, although it was unclear if any of the Republicans were told ahead of time.”
Germany tested an air-launched an anti-ship UAV / guided missile in WWII.
I suspe t Solimani was under the mistaken impression that all Americans were like Obama and did not believe that Trump could be a man. There is a large bias in the Muslim world that their god has their enemies under control in a blanket of fear. His open travel is a statement that America is afraid to act.
We like they often make the mistake of judging others by our standards. The Ishmael mindset is a strange dichotomy between fear and rage. The dials are all set to 11. The turmoil within the Jihadi right now must be near typhoon intensity. On one hand, rage at a hero of Islams untimely, on another fear at why their god let him die. Just what is allah saying here?!
Over all is a highly suppressed panic that somehow it is all going south, that allah is signaling their end and their flavor of Islam is found wanting. The drums of doom pound like a migraine, driving them into reckless action.
“UAVs were invented by the Israelis.”
UAV’s — strictly speaking — have been around since the Wright Brothers. But yes, the IAF did a lot of the development work for military recon & decoys. They’re cheap and expendable and allow pilots to avoid some of the more dangerous job assignments.
How do they track and target the specific person? Cellphone signal, facial recognition? Just asking...
