Military drone (UCAV) (2010s): Export spread

The UCAV is a hundred-year hardware story that only became a civilian argument when the public learned names, videos, and body-count ranges. Kettering's Bug, the British Queen Bee (the word "drone" in some English tellings), and Radioplane as a Hollywood-adjacent industry. The Second World War used these as targets and as experiments, not as a decisive arm.

Ryan's Lightning Bug reconnaissance drones over Asia in the 1960s-70s are the first thick operational file. Loss rates were high; the point was photographs without a prisoner. Vietnam's manned air war remains the larger story on that war's page. Karem to General Atomics to a 2001 armed deployment is the English newsreel. John P. Jumper and CIA directors sit in the political paragraph. The 2010s "drone war" essays are a legal-memory industry.

No sensor-to-shooter diagram, no frequency, no airframe how-to. Later states bought or built remotely piloted types. ROK programmes (KUS family and chaebol lines) are an industrial-national chapter -- history of procurement, not a flight school. Hanwha's UAV work belongs on the firm page as business history.
