"In the past, ISIL has used drones in Iraq and Syria for general
intelligence-gathering, as spotters for mortar firing, and even for
filming propaganda videos. Soldiers have regularly spotted these drones
over army positions on the outskirts of Mosul, prompting bursts of
gunfire skywards.
But there is a fresh threat, Saadi said: ISIL has begun to use the
drones themselves as weapons. 'They also use a new tactic, where the
drone itself has a bomb attached to it,' he explained."
ISIL is making their own larger drones now as well as using store-bought quadcopters and such. It seems like the time has already arrived that when going to war, you bring your drones.
