ISIS Using Quadcopters to Drop Bombs on Iraqis
(Military Times) Jeff Schogol - Islamic State fighters in Mosul are using quadcopters to drop munitions "akin to a small, little grenade" on Iraqi security forces and civilians, said Col. Brett Sylvia, a U.S. Army commander in Iraq. ISIS has "the same ability that any 13-year-old kid in the States" has to purchase quadcopters online. Sylvia said U.S. troops have been able to "bring to bear some of our technical capabilities" to help the Iraqis shoot down nearly a dozen drones.
