A cool Collection of drone vehicles. If Nigeria's security services were serious, a few of these with infra red visions could turn the battle against bokoharam terrorists.

Interest in the domestic use of drones is surging among public agencies and private citizens alike, including a thriving subculture of amateur hobbyists, even as the prospect of countless tiny but powerful eyes circling in the skies raises serious privacy concerns.

Army personnel walkout and position the Hunter UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) for takeoff at Petrovec Airfield, Skopje, Macedonia, in support of TASK FORCE HARVEST.

The Hunter UAV plays a key role in helping NATO troops by surveying and looking for any changes in the local area that might hinder the peacekeeping mission. Photographer's Name: SSGT JOCELYN M.

there is no money in the gov's budget for such apparels, most of it has to go directly in their dirty pockets......... you are even talking of drones, when a simple GSM positioning system would solve most of this terrorist/kidnapping problem

Nigeria indeed has produced a UAV aptly called Amebo 1. It was meant to have seen action during the just concluded airforce expo in Kaduna, though we are yet to see any stills or videos of it in action. As to her capabilities, it is strictly surveillance.

There's also a bunch of Israeli UAVs in her inventory which are inclined towards maritime security though ideally should be used in monitoring the insurgency up North. None capable of launching attacks so far....
