The biggest change announced on Thursday involves the sale of larger armed drones like the Predator and the Reaper, which have been the workhorses of the fight against insurgents in Afghanistan and the tribal regions of Pakistan. President Barack Obama embraced the weapons but was also so troubled by such remote warfare tools that he placed unusual restrictions on their sale.

Those restrictions have allowed drone makers in Israel, China and Turkey to capture a large part of a market that American manufacturers had pioneered, something the Trump administration wants to reverse.

Yeah but no jet engine and even the propeller engines are imported. Drones don't replace manned planes. Drones can be jammed because it's radio linked. And there's a few seconds of delay which annoys people.

DJI makes immersive googles that operator controls the drone by head movements. Only costs a few hundred bucks. For a drone that costs millions, should at least have such a gear.

But not a single jet engine. Still a long way to go. The power of the west lies in jet engines. Russia drone getting RD-33MK which powers MiG-29SMT. RD-33MK is an excellent turbofan.

JEt engines are complex their not innovative . they requires many many detailed parts that must be high quality . turkey can manufacture one but the US won't sell them the parts .

Insha'Allah these UAVs would be the like the Janissary divisions in gaining back every square inch of the land lost during the Treaty of Lausanne due to the back-stabbing, treachery and Satanic deception of the Allied powers!!! No wonder Reis Erdo'an found an UAV manufacture's CTO to be the best suitor for his youngest daughter....

Hodri Meydan.....Ey FETO/PKK/CIA/MOSSAD/MI6/Wahbists/KSA/UAE/Kumlu Mollas etc., don't come one by one, if you have the courage come in unison!!! Let's see who has the power to stop this raging storm....
