Securing America: UAE Buying US-Made Drones

More American-made drones are heading to the Middle East, but they won’t be getting used by the United States.

FOX News Radio’s Jill Nado reports in our ongoing series on national security:

Securing America.

Iran claims it’s developed its own drones, copying the technology it got from a CIA drone seized by the rogue nation after it entered Iran airspace.  Now, in an apparent attempt to keep up with its neighbor, the United Arab Emirates is spending about $200 million to get drones from a U.S-based manufacturer.

The UAE says it’s getting the Predator drones from General Atomics Aeronautical Systems and they won’t be outfitted with weapons, but used only for reconnaissance.
