In this episode of the Essential Geopolitics podcast from Stratfor, a RANE company, Emily Donahue speaks with Stratfor global security analyst Thomas Abi-Hanna. When you think of a military drone, do you think of the big, sleek silent remote-controlled planes used for intel gathering and bomb runs? What about those tiny drones individuals use to get aerial pictures? Or the toy drones that kids play with? Drones come in all sizes, and their proliferation caused the head of U.S. Central Command, General Kenneth McKenzie, to describe them as "the most concerning tactical development" in the Middle East.
