In a speech to the MoD’s air and space power conference, Mr Wallace said that Britain should learn from Turkey, which had harnessed armed drones, electronic warfare and “smart ammunition”........

Unmanned aviation was a central theme at the conference, as the RAF announced that it was trialling flying drones from aircraft carriers and Mr Wallace announced that he had signed a £65 million contract for its first three Protector drones. The government is set to buy 20 of the drones, which are armed with Hellfire missiles.....
Turkey did create the first Air Force . Good ideas spread quickly . There is very little defence from Space Weapons , just large rocks falling space might give it a natural disaster look . It would not be beyond modern capabilities to nudge a few large asteroids against an enemy . The trick would be getting the timing right and not causing another ice age .
