“Badly trained pilots are creating ‘significant risks’ to Britain’s unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) programme, a military investigation has found. A probe by the Military Aviation Authority found that ‘increasing demands’ on drones used for surveillance and intelligence-gathering were ‘constraining the length of time available to train and qualify’ new pilots. MPs are due to debate the country’s involvement in drone warfare later Tuesday and Labour plans to push the government over whether unmanned aircraft will be deployed to kill terrorist suspects.”
