Does anyone know if drone planes can be sent thousands of miles...or is their range just hundreds of miles....? Also, I wonder how hard drones are to make and assemble? Could pieces come into any one of our ports, and then assembled in the US....

This was also in that article....

>>>>>>>>>>>>>Just before the gulf war in 1991, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's
son-in-law began a crash military program intended to give Iraq the
ability to wipe out Israel's population with germ weapons, an Iraqi
general told inspectors. MiG fighters, each carrying 250 gallons of
microbes, were to be flown by remote control
to release anthrax over
Israel. One pilotless plane was flight-tested with simulated germs just
before the war began, but the attack was never attempted. <<<<<<<<<
