UAVs

It would appear that the Chinese are selling the MALE CH-3 UAV - they say "by the hundred" outside of China.

This medium range, medium height surveillance UAV operates at about 220 k and is propellor driven.

Given that it is low cost and the Chinese are by no means averse to selling to our enemies, one wonders what thought has been given to the possibility that the Taliban will start using them and if so, what countermeasures our people in the field think would be appropriate.

Add to that the thought that any more sophisticated enemy (such as Iran) will certainly have their own design UAVs and unmanned strike vehicles, what counter do we have in mind?
