Abstract
In this Defense & Security Analysis article, Antonio Calcara, Ivan Zaccagnini, CSS' Mauro Gilli and Andrea Gilli argue that armed medium-altitude long-endurance (MALE) drones like the Reaper and the TB2 represent an evolution, not a revolution in warfare. Specifically, they argue that because of their inherent vulnerability to air defenses, MALE drones do not favor offensive military operations. Show more

Insbesondere argumentieren sie, dass MALE-Drohnen aufgrund ihrer inhärenten Anfälligkeit für Luftabwehrsysteme keine offensiven militärischen Operationen begünstigen. Show more
