Oyendetsa ndege a Drone asiya ntchito ya US Air Force manambala a mbiri m'zaka zaposachedwa - mofulumira kuposa omwe amalembedwa kumene angasankhidwe ndikuphunzitsidwa. Amatchula za kuphatikizika kwa udindo wapansi mu usilikali, kugwira ntchito mopitirira muyeso komanso kupwetekedwa maganizo.
Koma chidziwitso chatsopano chofalitsidwa kwambiri chokhudza nkhondo ya ku America yachinsinsi cha drone sichimatchula "kuwonjezeka kwa kutuluka," monga imodzi. memo mkati mwa Air Force amachitcha. "Drone Wankhondo: Akaunti Yam'kati mwa Asilikali Osankhika ya Kusaka Adani Oopsa Kwambiri ku America" imafotokoza pafupifupi zaka 10 zomwe Brett Velicovich, yemwe kale anali membala wantchito zapadera, adagwiritsa ntchito ma drones kuthandiza gulu lankhondo lapadera kupeza ndi kutsatira zigawenga. Mosavuta, imayikanso kugulitsa kwambiri pulogalamu yomwe gulu la Air Force likuvutika kuti likhale lodzaza.
Velicovich analemba zolembazo - za nthawi yake "kusaka ndi kuyang'ana m'mabwinja a ku Middle East" - kusonyeza momwe drones "amapulumutsira miyoyo ndi kupatsa mphamvu anthu, mosiyana ndi zambiri zomwe zimapitirizabe zomwe zimawapangitsa iwo kukhala oipa." M'malo mwake, bukuli ndi nkhani ya kulimba mtima kwachimuna ndipo, choyipa kwambiri, ndi nkhani zabodza zankhondo zomwe zidapangidwa kuti zichepetse kukayikira za pulogalamu ya drone ndikuwonjezera ntchito.
Velicovich ndi wolemba nawo bukuli, Christopher S. Stewart, mtolankhani wa Wall Street Journal, amalimbikitsa nthano yakuti drones ndi makina odziwa zonse komanso olondola. Velicovich amakokomeza kulondola kwaukadaulo, kunyalanyaza kutchula kuti nthawi zambiri zimalephera kapena kuti. zolephera zotere apha anthu wamba osawerengeka. Mwachitsanzo, CIA inapha Ana 76 ndi akuluakulu 29 poyesa kuchotsa Ayman al Zawahiri, mtsogoleri wa Al Qaeda, amene akuti akadali ndi moyo.
Ndipo komabe, "Sindikukayikira kuti titha kupeza aliyense padziko lapansi," Velicovich akulemba, "mosasamala kanthu kuti ali obisika bwanji." Wina angafunse Velicovich kuti afotokoze imfa za Warren Weinstein, nzika yaku America, ndi Giovanni Lo Porto, Nzika ya ku Italy - onse ogwira ntchito zothandizira omwe anaphedwa ndi drone ya ku America yomwe imayang'ana mamembala a Al Qaeda ku Pakistan.
"Timakhulupirira kuti uku kunali gulu la Al Qaeda," Purezidenti Obama adalengeza miyezi itatu chiwonongekocho, "kuti palibe anthu wamba omwe analipo." Inde, Air Force inali itatseka mazana a maola kuwunika kwa drone panyumbayo. Inali itagwiritsa ntchito makamera ojambulira kutentha, amene amayenera kusonyeza kuti munthu alipo chifukwa cha kutentha kwa thupi lake pamene chingwe chamaso chatsekereza. Komabe, kuyang'anirako mwanjira ina sikunawone matupi ena awiri - a Weinstein ndi La Porto - omwe adagwidwa m'chipinda chapansi.
Mwina ogwira ntchito othandizira sanazindikire chifukwa, malinga ndi lipoti lomwe likubwera lazoletsa zaukadaulo wa drone wolembedwa ndi Pratap Chatterjee, mkulu wa gulu loyang’anira za CorpWatch, ndi Christian Stork, makamera oyerekezera kutentha “sangathe kuona m’mitengo ndipo bulangete loikidwa bwino lomwe limachotsa kutentha kwa thupi lingathenso kuzitaya,” komanso “sangathe kuona m’zipinda zapansi kapena pansi pa nthaka. .”
Choyipa kwambiri ndikuyesa kwa memoir kutengera kuzunzika kwamaganizidwe a ogwiritsa ntchito ma drone ndi akatswiri anzeru ndikusintha kukhala nkhani yamphamvu ndi stoicism. "Ndinalimbana kuti nditsegule maso anga," Velicovich akulemba za kugwira ntchito pamene akugona. "Ola lililonse lowonongeka linali ola linanso lomwe adani amayenera kukonzekera, ola lina amayenera kupha."
Yerekezerani chithunzicho ndi chenicheni monga momwe Col. Jason Brown, mkulu wa 480th Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Wing anafotokozera. "Ziwopsezo zathu zodzipha komanso zofuna kudzipha zinali zapamwamba kwambiri kuposa avareji ya Air Force," a Brown anauza Washington Post kumayambiriro kwa mwezi uno, kufotokoza chifukwa chake akatswiri a maganizo a nthawi zonse ndi alangizi a zamaganizo alowetsedwa mu pulogalamu ya drone. "Iwo anali apamwamba kuposa omwe adatumiza." Ziŵerengero zodzipha zatsika chifukwa cha magulu a zamaganizo, a Brown anatero. Ntchito yokhayo sinasinthe.
Ufulu wa kanema wa "Drone Warrior" anagulidwa kupitilira chaka chapitacho, ndi zokonda zambiri, lolemba Paramount Pictures. (Situdiyo inasankhanso ufulu wa moyo ku nkhani ya Velicovich.) Mu gawo loyamikira la memoir, Velicovich akunena kuti filimu yomwe ikubwera idzawongoleredwa ndikupangidwa ndi. Michael Bay, wojambula mafilimu kumbuyo kwa "Transformers," "Pearl Harbor" ndi "Armageddon."
Izi ndizodziwikiratu. The Asilikali aku US ndi Hollywood akhala akusangalala kwa nthawi yayitali. Opanga mafilimu nthawi zambiri amapeza malo, ogwira ntchito, zidziwitso ndi zida zomwe zimabwereketsa zomwe amapanga "zowona." M'malo mwake, ankhondo nthawi zambiri amawongolera momwe akuwonetsedwera.
Akuluakulu a Pentagon ndi ogwira ntchito ku CIA amadziwika kuti adalangiza ndikugawana zolemba zamagulu ndi opanga mafilimu kumbuyo kwa "Zero Dark Thirty," kanema wosankhidwa ndi Oscar yemwe. amanenedwa molakwika Pulogalamu ya CIA yozunza ndikumasulira ngati idathandizira kupeza Osama bin Laden. CIA nayo yakhalapo likugwirizana kupanga "Argo," Ben Affleck adapambana Oscar akuwonetsa momwe bungweli lidapulumutsira akapolo aku America ku Iran.
Koma pali china chake chosawoneka bwino chokhudza chidwi cha Hollywood pakubweretsa mtundu wa Velicovich wankhondo za drone pazenera lalikulu. Mu "Drone Wankhondo," asitikali aku America atha kukhala ndi nsanja yamphamvu yowonetsera pulogalamu yake ngati yothandiza komanso oyendetsa ngati ngwazi - m'malo motanganidwa komanso kupsinjika. Tiyenera kudabwa ngati Velicovich adayandikira asilikali a US kuti alembe zolemba zake. Zingathenso kuwathandiza kuthetsa vuto lawo.
