Europe is testing its drone project ”Neuron”, an unmanned stealth attack drone. Neuron flew for 25 minutes in Istres, France and was piloted by two pilots. Neuron is the biggest drone for the time being with its wingspan of 12 meters and length of 10 meters.
The use of drone technology has been criticized by international law experts, apparently a bomb from an unmanned plane is more dangerous or unethical than one from a manned conventional aircraft(!?).
I for one fail to see the logic in that, and how come there are no international law experts condemning the use of missiles? Their unmanned too, aren’t they? My reservation would be that it is with a certain feeling of uneasiness that I see unmanned ”things” of destruction that flies, walks, rolls or swims around. One need only to take a quick look into the world of fiction to realize that there are avenues down that road that we definitely do not want to go.
