US News and World Report: Here Come Iran's Drones
The nuclear deal will likely free up money for Iran to advance its drone program.
The U.S. military recently concluded its annual two-week exercise known as Black Dart. Conducted every year since 2002, but only open to select media for the past two years, Black Dart brings together government, academic institutions and private companies to test out their latest technologies designed for a single objective: confronting and neutralizing an enemy unmanned aerial vehicle (or UAV, also known as a drone). Black Dart, at its core, is a manifestation of the military's recognition that the United States does not have a monopoly on the development or acquisition of drones – and that this technology has already made its way to the bad guys, even if ours is much more sophisticated than theirs.
American policymakers would be well-served to keep Black Dart in the back of their minds as they contemplate the Obama administration's deal with Iran on its nuclear program.
WNU Editor: It may take a certain period of time but with this nuclear deal Iran will definitely have the money .... and with the end of sanctions .... access to the technology.
