How A Drone Strike Works – Cheddar Explains
The U.S. has become dependent on drones to monitor and target perceived threats. They may keep military officials out of the line of fire, but these unmanned aircraft aren’t as autonomous as they seem. How much do you really know about how a drone strike works?

Game of drones
Can you hear me now??????????
Damn.
Pfew these drones seems very dangerous I hope that one of the biggest country won’t use them to kill people, civilians and children and bomb middle east for decades right ??
The Reaper Drone is a Hallmark deployment: “When you care enough to send the very best.”
cheddar SUCKS
USA USA USA
Sorry I’m Somali this is not really Somalia is good every tem
Wait if it targets terrorists then why hasn’t it targeted the White House and the pentagon..? Seems a bit odd
Google "Obama 90%"
These pilots are killers, disrespectful to them are well deserved.

Adrenaline pumping high-speed search and destroy. A well written and enjoyable book with historical facts. Highly recommend!!!
Is menken sitee mogdisho drone is have naw 20
Only 2 carry out attacks; Predators and Reapers. So we’re just going to leave out the Gray Eagle?
IRL:300 steps just to take out one guy
Arma 3:push button to make man go boom
Say what you want, but killing this general in Iraq was unlawful.
That kinda freaky. Imagine playing a video game but the people you kill on the screen are actually dying in real life.
Somalia is have 20 drones
ALL autonomous weapons are PROGRAMMED with the following boolean… if this, THEN that. That drone did not decide by itself. Guarantee it was programmed too 1st.
Videos from Beirut show a little dark object fly into the burning area right before explosion. Please investigate for us to help make sure it is indeed "just some fireworks that caused an explosion"
I had to put it on x1.25
*Obama has entered the chat*
Ah yes, the how-to-kill-children-thousands-of-miles-away video
They use Griffin missiles too
It’s actually insane nobody mentions how much of terrorists there are in the US army. To be able to volunteer to steer a mass civilian killing weapon without any conscience. I would never in my life concur to such an oppurtunity. Being a president and simply stating a "yes" or "no" implicitly being (and perhaps "unknowingly") responsible for mass number of deaths. What’s even worse is the fact they’re covering these evil deeds. Often they choose to take lives in order to save some lives, I get that… but the fact they’re hiding their deeds must say something.
This comment section is gold
Who’s here after Biden’s first war crime?
"Acts of violence". No no snowflake…. "Acts of Justice".💪🇺🇸💥
Why not make a safe transport for humans instead War planes.
Wow, Obama was busy with all those drone strikes
One notable thing is that this is good. Don’t cite how many people they kill because If it wasn’t a drone it would just be a fighter jet or other attack aircraft, at least here we are sending less young men and women into combat.
its disrespectfull comparing piloting a drone and playing video games because the one is doing war crimes in the middle east and the otherone is just having fun without hurting anyone
"Disrespectful." lol
How to a respect a soldier sitting in an air conditioned room in his home country risking nothing but a piece of metal?
there’s a rumor that sais the drone contain a something like a blender that chopped everyone in the car, they chose this because they don’t want to hurt others.
Better build radar and lasers to fight drones.
Drone pilot suffer PTSD is the best bullshit I ever heard…
Next we’ll have robot soldiers on the ground.
Imagine a terrorist accidentally left they phone in your Uber 😳
US are war criminals and torturers
I seriously believe thst unmanned vehicles should be used in supportive surveillance roles only. Watching videos of Azerbaijan just destroy Armenians was so appalling and awful it didn’t seem fair. To kill you should be risking your own life and putting your own life on the line. When you don’t and are safe out of harms way in a chair with air conditioning looking at a screen it seems like it would be too easy to lose sight of the act of taking human life and what that truly means. If I knew how and felt like I mattered enough for my opinion to go anywhere I would try to introduce legislation to stop the role of unmanned combat vehicles. You gotta be a senator or some ish, right? Can the Geneva convention be amended? As a global community we decided chemical warfare was too much after WWI. My great grandpa died from the effects of being exposed to mustard gas in the trenches.. How does this stuff work? Everyone ive shown the drone footage to from the 44 day war was shocked and appalled too. I don’t know how any human being could not feel the same. It feels more like fantasy than an achievable dream which is really depressing.
This weapon is a symbol of cowardice. Attacking in secret is not bravery
America is the world’s largest terrorists country 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Hasan Sulemani drone attack was good shoot and showed us the drone accuracy
Yes this is an atrocity and also doing human rights violation, but at the very least we know this thing because the US is letting everyone know to an extent. As weak their democracy is, i still would choose anything over extremism.
America is the biggest killer of humanity In this country, there are a lot of atrocities, especially on Muslims And now it cannot maintain its existence
What a strange thing that America has accused Muslims of saying The same nation is tearing Israel to pieces
Cool
You want this drone to evolve . What do you want next a drone carrying nuclear bomb.
how come a moving plane has such still video of the target
Take it to Yo mamma’s, mamma’s House! 🔥⚡🔥
