Drönarkriget mot terrorismen

Kriget mot terrorismen i Mellanöstern blev kostsamt när allt fler soldater miste livet utan några särskilda framgångar. Efter att drönare länge hade betraktats som en teknologi i periferin flyttade de nu in i strategernas finrum som en lösning på problemet. Mellan 2005 och 2013 växte den amerikanska drönarflottan från ett femtiotal farkoster till mer än 7 500.I dagens avsnitt av Militärhistoriepodden diskuterar idéhistorikern Peter Bennesved och historieprofessorn Martin Hårdstedt det så kallade "Drone Wars", drönarkriget, under 00-talet.Den nya generationen drönare användes på nya sätt. Utöver de signalspanings- och övervakningsuppgifter som tidigare varit centrala började CIA och det amerikanska flygvapnet använda drönare för att slå ut enskilda mål på långa avstånd. Mest känd från den här tiden är modellen M9 Predator. Genom att diskret spåra upp sina mål och följa dem på långt avstånd kunde drönarna slå ut små grupper av terrorister eller deras resurser i gömställen, på gatorna eller i bilar. Märkligt nog tilläts detta pågå i länder som Pakistan, Jemen, Somalia och Libyen, trots att USA inte formellt var i krig med dem.Drone Wars skapade stora problem för den amerikanska offentligheten, eftersom många ansåg att den här typen av "krig mot terrorismen" var onödigt brutalt, omoraliskt och ledde till omfattande civila förluster. Det hände ofta att drönarna anföll fel mål eller att terroristerna befann sig i civila miljöer när de blev attackerade. Det fanns också något moraliskt störande i det faktum att drönaroperatörerna kunde styra och anfalla från sina högkvarter i Langley eller utanför Las Vegas.Utvecklingen av den här typen av drönare fick många strateger att fundera. Medan drönarkriget pågick föreställde sig vissa att F-35-planet kunde vara den sista generationen bemannade stridsflygplan. Attackdrönare som M9 Predator tycktes helt ta över. Kriget i Ukraina sedan 2022 har dock fått kritikerna att tänka om, och ju mer tiden går framstår 00-talets Drone Wars som en alltmer avgränsad och unik period i militärhistorien.Bild: En MQ-9 Reaper flyger ovanför Creech AFB under ett lokalt träningsuppdrag här.

I switched up my scheduled episode today because of requests coming in to do a show on the drones here in NJ.     If you haven't seen anything about this, we have been having mysterious drones, some the size of cars, flying all over the great state of NJ since November 20th.     The way I see it, there's 2-3 possibilities as to what or who is behind these.  I will tell you though, whatever it is, it's nefarious.  I don't like it one bit.   If you want to hear my take on it, you will have to give this one a listen.  But be warned, this might lead you far down the rabbit hole with the bread crumbs I leave here and there in my take on it.   Let me know what you think!

Prepare for a riveting journey through the latest paradigm in modern conflict—drone warfare's dramatic rise as a game-changer on the international stage. This episode unearths the chilling reality of Iran's assault on Israel, a stark deviation from their usual tactic of proxy warfare, marking a crucial turning point that could spell broader regional hostilities. With the Middle East on a knife-edge, we dissect the strategic employment of drones and missiles that have redefined the art of war, echoing the disruptive influence of air power in historical conflicts.lets  explore the intricate web of military tactics and the grave implications they hold for global stability. Special attention is paid to Seth Frantzman's compelling narrative in "The Drone Wars," while also drawing insights from Erik Prince on the escalating drone engagements in Ukraine. Key Points from the Episode:This discourse isn't just about recounting events; it's an examination of our readiness to adapt to and understand the relentless march of technology in warfare. Witness the awe-inspiring capabilities of Israel's defense systems like the Iron Dome, David's Sling, and Arrow 3 during the April 2024 drone attack. It's a testament to what human ingenuity can accomplish when we aim to protect and secure our communities. The successful interception of nearly 99% of the drones launched in the attack isn't just a victory; it's a call to action. How can nations leverage this incredible feat to enhance their defense mechanisms as surely some drones were used in a defensive posture ? Beyond the technological marvels, the heart of this narrative is how we work together to bring artificial intelligence and drone warfare into a peaceful way in our newly emerging and technologically rich world.   From the rifle to the jet, military tactics have always changed the battlefield and this most recent attack on Israel is another change in the face of war.    Welcome to the drone wars.Don't miss this crucial analysis that bridges the gap between history and headline, between yesterday's strategies and today's urgencies.Other resources: More goodnessGet your FREE Academy Review here!Get our top book recommendations listGet new podcast episodes dropped into your email box easilyWant to leave a review?

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) In this compelling episode of The Wright Report, former CIA Operations Officer Bryan Dean Wright takes listeners through a series of pressing issues currently shaping America and the wider world. Wright kicks off with an alarming update on America's soaring inflation rates, highlighting the unexpected surge in the consumer price index and its cascading effects on the stock market and federal interest rate policies. He delves into the sectors hit hardest by inflation, such as elder care and auto insurance, critiquing the administration's response and its broader economic implications. The episode then shifts focus to the complex issue of illegal migration, spotlighting two distinct phenomena: the involvement of Chinese illegals in a sophisticated gift card scam and the growing discontent among Hispanic Americans over the handling of the migration crisis. Wright provides an in-depth analysis of these challenges, underscoring the political and social ramifications. The narrative takes a sharp turn to discuss the controversial debate over the federal government's surveillance capabilities, particularly the rejection of a bill aimed at extending warrantless spying on Americans. Wright provides historical context, recent misuse cases, and bipartisan opposition to the bill, fostering a discussion on privacy, trust, and the balance between security and liberty. Furthermore, Wright addresses the evolving landscape of modern warfare and espionage, emphasizing the strategic importance of drone technology. He presents a detailed examination of Iran and China's advancements in drone capabilities, contrasting them with the perceived stagnation in American drone technology and strategy. The episode concludes with a thought-provoking discussion on the unintended consequences of debt forgiveness programs, using medical debt forgiveness as a case study to question similar initiatives in other sectors, such as student loans. Through rigorous analysis, expert insights, and a keen eye on both domestic and international events, "Rising Tides: Navigating Through Inflation, Surveillance, and the Global Drone Race" offers listeners a comprehensive understanding of today's most pressing issues, urging them to reflect on the path forward for America and the global community.

Today we look closer at Ukraine's cheap suicide drones and what they mean in the context of just war theory, and the future of war in general.The grim and terrible videos of explosive attacks on defenseless footsoldiers might be verboten on Youtube, but they raise a number of questions. Is technology neutral, or are some weapons too dangerous to go unbanned by authorities? Do FPV drones represent a completely novel groundbreaking type of combat, or merely a new look at the old face of war?

We'll tackle the Wheat Wars, the Natural Gas Wars, the Drone Wars, plus the Boxing Analogy / that we used last August, thinking about the Russians and Ukrainians as the prize fighters, with each side having coaches, with the US and Europe in one corner and China and others in Russia's corner. And then we'll wrap up with the biggest concern of all — New-clear War, with the latest that I'm hearing from folks who know this issue, and what they are looking for as signs that things are going to get bad. Later, we close out the podcast with a personal announcement. It's about a big change coming to the PDB. And the bottom line is: you are getting a new host of this podcast; and I am starting a new podcast, called The Wright Report — just like my last name. I'll explain the change later. ----- Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief. Email: PDB@TheFirstTV.com Learn more about your ad choices.

I've got four briefs for you this morning that are shaping America — and the world. First, an update on the Chinese Spy Balloon saga. It turns out my counsel to you all yesterday was spot on regarding one thing in particular. We'll discuss it. Second, we've spoken a lot about a potential war between the US and China over the island of Taiwan. But if war ever came, would the Taiwanese people actually stand up and fight? I've got an answer. Third, an update to the Drone Wars in Ukraine. The country of Iran has agreed to help build a drone factory in Russia to keep Moscow fully supplied for years to come. Fourth, a brief on Dirty Green Energy / but it is unlike anything we've talked about before. It involves the deep ocean, and it takes us all the way back to the 1960s with CIA spies and a connection to sunken Soviet submarine. Later, we close out the podcast with a quick brief about tonight's State of the Union address in Washington DC on the topic of debt and deficits. ----- Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.

Author of 'See It/Shoot It' Chris is the perfect guest to shed light on this clandestine part of the CIA. Looking at drone involvement in the 1980's and the role they played in locating Gaddafi, through to their uses in a post 9/11 world - what can we really know about the CIA drone programme, and is there anywhere on earth left to hide?For more Warfare content, subscribe to our Warfare Wednesday newsletter here.

Unseen, they stalk their targets from thousands of feet in the air. Operators are piloting them from military bases halfway across the world. At any moment, they could launch a strike that comes without warning. The attack drone was supposed to be a symbol of the era of precision warfare — a way to wage wars with fewer casualties on both sides. It's a technology that's been honed since it was first dreamed up during World War 1. But are drones actually precise enough? Do drones desensitize us to the casualties of civilians caught between us and our enemies? In this episode, we will explore the past, present and future of drone warfare.

Hot Topics in Tech: What do you need to know about financial technology?   A technical glitch postponed the start of trading in futures and options contracts on Eurex by more than two hours, the latest in a run of breakdowns by exchanges. Exchanges around the world are avidly wooing high-frequency traders, those controversial speed demons of Wall Street. Despite the often explosive debate over this kind of trading in the U.S., bourses in Mexico, Turkey, South Africa and beyond are trying to lure HFT types to boost business. China, perhaps the last big obstacle to high-frequency trading achieving global dominance, where tight government rules, a stamp duty on stock trades and market inefficiency have so far kept out the algobots. High frequency share trading, which favors “predatory strategies that queue jump institutional and retail investors”, is having a toxic effect on Australia financial markets, according to researchers at the Business School. NY AG preps case against Credit Suisse dark pool - New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is preparing a civil case against Credit Suisse AG (CS). CMEs power of electronic trading let it acquire Nymex: The importance of technology was demonstrated again when CME saved Nymex from disappearing. A new report by regulators admits that there was an unusual amount of “self-trading” leading up to the October 15 bond market flash crash. The Treasury market, officially, had its own flash crash. The Inbox: Listener questions and comments Question from GG: Has there ever been talk of some sort of technology glitch or shutdown futures? In the wake of the NYSE problems it seems there would be a fertile market for such a product. Firms could hedge themselves against system risk. Please discuss. Question from Eli Minn: Good discussion of the NYSE meltdown. I came away from it agreeing that tech actually saved the day. I guess fragmentation is good for something after all. Question from TJD: I know you guys were joking when you talked about HFT boats and blimps. But has there been any serious application of drone tech in the trading world? I have seen them used for combat, photography, movie-making, science experiments and more. Why not trading?
