Negative reports of drones may continue to be used as terrorist attacks
The increasingly unfamiliar drones have also become weapons for terrorists to put bombs on the battlefield.
Sylvia, an officer who recently fought in Iraq, said that in the Mosul region, ISIS terrorists use drones to fire bombs at local armed forces and citizens.
They just took Mosul back from ISIS in early November, and after their troops moved into the city of Mosul, ISIS made the number of explosions with drones more frequent.
The drones that make these explosions are commercially available on the market.
Compared to large military drones, this simple modified commercial drone is not much destructive. Due to the limitations of these commercial drones, it can fly only a few miles in diameter, and due to limited battery life, it only takes about one hour. Sylvia claims that their targets are actually rushing to the front lines of the battlefield.

There have been no incidents of serious injury or death of the US military by this drone, but Sylvia also mentioned that the drone has caused damage to the infrastructure of the bombed area and civilian casualties.
Such drones have appeared on the battlefields of Syria and Ukraine.
For such drones, companies have developed specialized weapons. In 2015, Battlle launched the rifle DroneDefender, which was used to shoot down drones. This rifle uses radio signals to target the drone and interfere with the signal between the operator and the drone. It can shoot down drones within 400 meters.

In addition to transforming cheap commercial drones into bombs, ISIS has also developed its own more destructive drones. In February last year, investigators from the Conflict Armament Research Center discovered the ISIS-modified drone workshop in Ramadi, Iraq.
Although they did not find the assembled drones, they found the fuselage and wing semi-finished products made of wood and foamed plastic. In addition, there are electronic components such as camera controllers and gyroscopes, and the Soviet-made Strela surface-to-air missiles that have been dismantled.

According to the investigators, "With this modification, the drone can be changed to be light enough that it can be used to carry bombs with more explosive power."
