Remote Control / Autonomous Weapons:

 I wish to point-out that these weapon systems (CROWS) and their use is totally the work of Governments ... and is NOT in any way associated to the use of sporting firearms by hunters or licensed target shooters.

The Iranian Chief of Research recently assassinated was likely killed by a machine gun mounted on a Nissan pick-up truck that was remotely operated via a high flying drone - that was itself controlled by a military satellite ..

Reports say that the truck blew itself up upon completion of the mission by video link and that no operators were present at the murder site.

Israel is most known for its role in developing “unmanned aerial vehicles” — or drones, as they have come to be known. Originally intended for spying, and first used by Israel over south Lebanon in the early 1980s, today they are increasingly being used for extrajudicial executions from thousands of feet in the sky.

In February 2010 Israel officially unveiled the 14 meter-long Heron TP drone, the largest ever. Capable of flying from Israel to Iran and carrying more than a ton of weapons, the Heron was tested by Israel in Gaza during Operation Cast Lead in winter 2008-09, when some 1,400 Palestinians were killed.

More than 40 countries now operate drones, many of them made in Israel, although so far only the Israeli and US armies have deployed them as remote-controlled killing machines. Israeli drones are being widely used in Afghanistan.
