Military drone (UCAV) (1970s): Israeli and other RPVs · 568

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. A type that borrowed the fighter's mission debate and the ICBM's political unease -- at a different scale.
