Bullshit. They aren't doing it out of commitment. They just lack the tech skills to make and use a drone.

Knew some people who were stationed in middle east countries. The stories they told.... it's fucking hilarious.

FYI: Iran has universities and lets women get advanced science degrees.... Take the hint bro...

Edit: for all those down voting, how about you do some research outside your comfort zone. The Taliban have gutted stem education and ejected women from university. There are on 13 people in the entire country smart enough to work on drones.

    My dude, they aren't cavemen. If you can manufacture explosives you can figure out how to order and operate a drone from China. They've been successfully operating an insurgency against the most powerful and technologically advanced military in the world for 20 years. Most of their higher ups are from rich Saudi families and a lot of them have western educations.

    Knew some people who were stationed in middle east countries.

    Generally I wouldn't really trust the opinions of someone who volunteered to serve in the military about how smart someone else is.

    Is "women can get advanced science degrees" unscientific to you? Are you from the 13th century???

    I was pointing out that Iran allows women to get science degrees and has a healthy drone program.

    While Afghanistan has ejected women from schools and their drone program is pretty much non existent.

    There are only 13 guy in the whole country working on drones. Meanwhile their university system has been gutted of stem.
