Germany should use armed drones, defense minister says
Germany, which used unmanned aircraft in warfare during World War II, should deploy armed drones in its military, its defense minister said.
"A drone is nothing more than a plane without a pilot," Defense Minister Thomas de Maiziere told the daily "Die Welt" in an article to appear on Saturday. "Planes can be armed so why shouldn't unmanned aircraft be allowed to be armed as well? I don't understand that." (Reuters)
