Iraqi TV correspondent Abdul Hameen Zebari was wounded by an armed drone while travelling with Iraqi forces in Mosul. “It was a loud blast,” he said. “I fell down on my side. I knew what it was from because seconds earlier the soldiers started shouting drone, drone, drone.”
Federal police commander General Ali al Lami said his troops are constantly on the lookout. “A car bomb can destroy a unit,” he said. “A truck bomb can destroy a brigade.” Asked if he would like to have them, al Lami replied, “We wish, of course.” – CBS News
Battelle says there ‘drone gun’ is a directed-energy system that will quickly disrupt the ability of the drone pilot to control the vehicle. It also neutralizes the drone so that no remote action can take place including detonation of an explosive.
Apparently, US forces are already using this device or something similar in their fight against ISIS terrorists to neutralize possible drone attacks. Who wants one?
