The US Military has gone from having just a few unmanned aircraft at the outset of the Iraq War to now over 7,000.
American drone technology is a sought-after brand on the international arms market, but other countries have and increasingly are developing their own platforms. Allies like Israel and adversaries like Iran have used reconnaissance drones in combat since the 1980s and continue to turn out new models.

Today, more than 50 countries are using or developing unmanned aircraft. Wired’s Danger Room just ran this article on what it considers to be some of the most interesting.
