The new study, referred to in an official US military journal, contradicts claims by US officials that the robotic planes are more precise than their manned counterparts. It appears to undermine the claim made by President Obama in a May speech that ‘conventional airpower or missiles are far less precise than drones, and likely to cause more civilian casualties and local outrage’.”
