In this episode of Trackpads, we explore the fascinating, and sometimes unsettling, evolution of drone warfare. We take you from the early days of clunky prototypes to the razor-sharp precision of today’s AI-driven combat machines. Along the way, we’ll examine what it means to be a drone pilot, the psychological toll of remote warfare, and the cutting-edge tools used to defend against these unmanned threats.

We also unpack the legal and ethical minefields surrounding remote-controlled combat, including accountability, public perception, and the rise of algorithmic decision-making in life-and-death scenarios. Whether you're a war historian, cyber strategist, or just drone-curious, this one’s got something for you.
