ISIS would just be another bunch of thugs if they didn't have M1 tanks. It is just a mater of time before they get air power. === Air power would make them an easy target - easy to locate and easy to hit. The US has better air combat and defensive capability than anyone else. |

A drone carrying a few pounds of Semtex is a poor man's cruise missile === The range of quadcopter type drones is very limited, and all we'd have to do is close their Amazon account. :-) In all seriousness, that kind of drone could be a deadly weapon for homegrown local terrorists however. |

With no requirement to return, the range of the 2.4GHz transmitters is at least a couple miles. |

The tough thing with a drone is the control system, not the actual vehicle. They are very easy to scale up. Mythbusters has been using RC car controllers on full sized cars and trucks for years. I don't think it would be that hard to put a drone control system The scary thing about these new groups like ISIS is they are not just goat herders with automatic weapons. They are recruiting college educated westerners. Those virgins they are using as bait must be pretty old and wrinkled by now. |
