The United States, together with other countries signed a memorandum on the export of drone UAVs

22
On Wednesday, a memorandum signed by the United States and even more 40 countries was published, on the principles of exporting drone UAVs, reports RIA News.

США совместно с другими странами подписали меморандум об экспорте ударных БЛА




“Recognizing that improper use of unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with percussion capabilities can contribute to conflict and instability and help terrorism and organized crime, the international community should take appropriate transparent measures to achieve responsible export and use of these systems,” the joint document says.

Among the signatories are the largest manufacturers of UAVs from the USA, Germany and the United Kingdom. Neither Russia nor the PRC in the participation agreement do not accept. Israel did not sign the document either.

The joint statement notes the need to “strengthen the standards for the sale, transfer and use of unmanned drums,” since at present such regulation is carried out on the basis of specific circumstances.

The document proposes that sellers demand guarantees from importers for the “correct” use of UAVs, as well as include conditions for the use of supplied drones.

As for the use of the devices themselves, it “must comply with international humanitarian law, international legislation on the use of military force.”

The countries that signed the memorandum refuse to “use drones for illegal surveillance and unlawful use of force.”

Recall that the Pentagon has been actively using UAVs for many years to strike extremists in countries such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Syria and others.

      Who are they? no law has been written for them, and who dares (except Russia) to poke their nose, and most importantly, what will be the punishment?
      Another question is why Israel and Russia refused, the treaty itself, none of us saw, only a note on the VO, here as they say, by and by.

    And here the US is trying to take control of markets by imposing rules.
    Well ... why only UAV?

      Why are they trying? Markets control mainly through TNCs. Here the national approach is not entirely correct.

      Only it is not clear what the attack drone and the underwater complex "Harpsichord-2R-PM" have in common?
      The device is designed to study the underwater environment, solve search problems and provide rescue operations, work on the Arctic shelf. wink
      In your photo, it certainly looks impressive, but the actual size is much more modest. smile

    Obviously, this will primarily affect Russia. But we have at least begun to take seriously these types of weapons and design our UAVs. Yes, and you can whisper with Israel, he did not sign this agreement, and they have excellent drones.
    The countries that signed the memorandum refuse to “use drones for illegal surveillance and unlawful use of force.”

    But this is hard to believe.

    The document offers sellers to require importers to guarantee the "correct" use of UAVs, and also include in the purchase and sale agreements the conditions for the use of the supplied drones.

    As for the use of the devices themselves, it “must comply with international humanitarian law, international legislation on the use of military force.”


    This is clearly not the case with the ear, and therefore do not fly UAVs over the usrains! It is fraught !!!

    The countries that signed the memorandum refuse to “use drones for illegal surveillance and unlawful use of force.”

    That is, fat through the border of the Russian Federation is possible? I want a frontier anti-aircraft gunner to ukreynovskuyu mezhu, to senkina ditch.

    Each news must be read with optimism. I’m sure that in the Security Council of the Russian Federation, we read and thought this news, this is a technique, so incendiary and soulful that even goosebumps ran through the skin of members of the Security Council of the Russian Federation! ”

    It’s interesting how they decided to develop the rules for the sale of UAVs and combine them with the principles of application. A very original dependence on the use of the bomb is obtained. If you use it incorrectly, then you will be denied further sale.
    What is going on in the world now, is it that morons rule, or I don’t understand anything already

    "... Recognizing that the misuse of unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with strike capabilities can contribute to conflict and instability and aid terrorism and organized crime, .." The world's first terrorists and criminals fear the instability they themselves are sowing around the world. What a hypocrite!
