The operators were able to deliver accurate fire and maintain full situational control while remaining far away in a safe location,\u201d says Agronom. \u201cThis is cold, precise technology in the hands of trained warriors \u2013 this is what the future of technological warfare looks like.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
