ISIS released aerial footage taken from "planes without a pilot". This could be a quadcopter or small photography drone... or something acquired from your friendly international/neighborhood arms dealer.

Retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Ralph Peters, a Fox News contributor, said filming from a drone and killing from one are two different things.

"The production values are good, but any military person can recognize the phoniness and amateurishness," he said, noting that "combat" footage in the video is obviously staged, and the shooters depicted are aiming their weapons improperly.

He said ISIS might be able to fly an explosive-laden drone into a target, but could not drop targeted bombs from one.

Wouldn't surprise me if they tried.

They'll find an outside source to reverse engineer this, with their large cash reserves it shouldn't be too hard.

I'm sure the Iranians have already done it with that drone the Obama adm. lost and so ineptly failed to recover/destroy awhile back.

ISIS will just pay someone else to do the same and then have their own built. Then it will add a new front to deal with unfortunately.
