Here come the drones — and they are dangerous.
Yemen’s Houthi fighters last weekend claimed they were responsible for a crippling blow to Saudi Arabian oil production using drones and cruise missiles. The combination of the two confused and overwhelmed Saudi antimissile defense systems, causing enough damage to take out half of the kingdom’s oil production.
In addition to demonstrating just how ill-prepared the Saudis were, the attack also proved that this type of warfare is becoming increasingly common globally. With the proliferation of drones, countermeasures are also getting more advanced. Currently they range from using trained eagles to nets, jammers, antidrone guns, lasers and more.
But how effective are they?
