Tsopano ndi nthawi yoti tiyankhe pa pulogalamu ya assassin drone yaku US. Kwa zaka zambiri US yakhala ikupha anthu osalakwa, kuphatikiza nzika zaku US, ku Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Yemen, Somalia, Libya, Mali komanso amene akudziwa kwina. Palibe munthu m’modzi m’gulu la asilikali amene anaimbidwa mlandu chifukwa cha zigawenga zimenezi. M'malo mwake, woululira mluzu wa drone Daniel Hale ali m'ndende ndi kukhala m'ndende miyezi 45.
Imfa ya pa Ogasiti 29, 2021 ya anthu wamba khumi osalakwa, kuphatikiza ana asanu ndi awiri, mnyumba ya mabanja kumzinda wa Kabul, Afghanistan ndi mzinga wamoto wothamangitsidwa kuchokera ku ndege yankhondo yaku US yapangitsa kuti pulogalamu yakupha yaku US iwonekere kwa anthu ambiri. Zithunzi za makoma opaka magazi ndi Toyota yoyera yoyera m'nyumba yabanja ku Kabul komwe kuli anthu ambiri zakhala ndi chidwi chodabwitsa poyerekeza ndi zaka 15 zakumenyedwa kwa drone m'malo akutali momwe mazana a anthu omwe amapita kumaliro ndi maphwando aukwati adaphedwa.
Ku Kabul, asitikali aku US adatsata Toyota yoyera kwa maola 8 pomwe Zemari Ahmadi, wogwira ntchito kwanthawi yayitali ku US Nutrition & Education International, adayendayenda mumzinda wa Kabul tsiku lililonse pantchito yothandiza anthu ku US. Asitikali aku US anali kufunafuna chinthu chobwezera ndi kubwezera chifukwa cha chiwembu chodzipha cha ISIS-K pabwalo la ndege la Hamid Karzai International Airport chomwe chidapha mazana a Afghans ndi asitikali 13 aku US.
Kwa masabata atatu pambuyo pa kuukira kwa drone komwe kudapha anthu khumi ku Kabul, utsogoleri wamkulu wa asitikali aku US adalungamitsa kuphako ponena kuti kugunda kwa ndege kupulumutsa miyoyo kuchokera ku bomba lodzipha la ISIS. Wapampando wa Joint Chiefs Milley adanena kuti kumenyedwa kwa drone ndi "kolungama."
Pomaliza, pambuyo kufufuza kwakukulu ndi New York Times atolankhani, pa Seputembara 17, 2021, General Kenneth McKenzie, wamkulu wa US Central Command adavomereza kuti ndegeyo idapha anthu khumi osalakwa. "Kunali kulakwitsa ... ndipo ine ndine amene ndili ndi udindo pa sitalakayi komanso zotsatira zomvetsa chisonizi."
Tsopano, Loweruka, Seputembara 19, pakubwera nkhani yomwe CIA idachenjeza kuti panali anthu wamba m'dera lomwe akufuna.
Ochita ziwonetsero akhala akutsutsa ma drone aku US kwazaka khumi ndi zisanu zapitazi ku Nevada, California, New York, Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin ndi ku Germany.

Awiri mwa asanu ndi limodzi a Reaper assassin drones adafika sabata yatha ku US Marine Base ku Kaneohe, O'ahu, Hawaii. Gulu lotsatira lankhondo laku US loti likhazikitse anthu opha anthu lili ku Guam, lomwe likuyenera kukhala ndi ma drones asanu ndi limodzi a Reaper.
Kodi asilikali a ku United States adzaimba mlandu gulu la asilikali omwe anavomereza kuwombera mizinga yamoto yomwe inapha anthu khumi osalakwa?
General McKenzie adati pamapeto pake, ndiye anali ndi udindo - chifukwa chake ayenera kuimbidwa mlandu wopha munthu komanso omwe adatsikira kwa woyendetsa ndege yemwe adawombera mfuti yamoto wa Hellfire.

Ayenera kuimbidwa mlandu wopha munthu. Ngati sichoncho, ndiye kuti asilikali a US apitiriza kupha anthu osalakwa popanda chilango.
