U.S. airstrikes have targeted Islamic State drone experts in Syria in recent days, reflecting deep fear within the Pentagon regarding the growing technical threat, Central Command revealed in a Friday statement.
CENTCOM noted that the death of one particular expert, Abu Salman, “greatly disrupts ISIS’ development of weaponized drones and testing of new software.” The other two experts targeted “were responsible for manufacturing and modifying commercially produced drones.” All three were killed near the Mayadin area of Syria in the middle Euphrates River valley, where U.S. commanders expect the terrorist group to make its last stand.
