ISIS Using Small Drones To Drop Explosives

In the fight for Mosul, Iraqi security forces have encountered attacks by commercially purchased drones dropping small munitions. ISIS has been using UAV (unmanned aerial vehicles) or drones for some time now. They have released several videos of attacks made by dropping various type of  munitions from a hovering drone. Without a good aiming mechanism, these attacks were largely ineffectual. However, due to the increasing number of drones attack, the threat cannot be ignored. Since these are commercially available drones, it is quite easy to develop effective counter-measures such as electronic signal jamming.

In a new photo report reported released by the Islamic State, ISIS uses drones to attack an Iraqi Army convoy in Alravdi, south of Mosul.
