Sarah Conner Turning In Her Grave

Consider :

Self-selection of targets is not new to this drone; it can also be found in the US-made X-47B and the French Neuron. Activists are calling for pilots to be required when lethal use is planned.

Taranis is a Brit killer btw. I guess it's a matter of time before the Russians and Chinese announce killer drones as well. Eight tonnes? Come on kats, you can do better than that..

Then, there's be a Non Dronification Treaty which India will boycott. Then a Comprehensive Drone Ban Treaty which India and North Korea will boycott again. Then, 40 years later, India will announce a drone. Way to go.

Years later, where does Bayraktar stack up against these? Cheaper and more successful that's for sure..
