LJ, I am not disputing that. I am disputing some other country just flying a RPAS over the M1 and targeting a car. The question was whether it was legal. The answer is no. I also tried to explain why other countries are able to do this in other parts of the world and get away with it. Again, it would be extremely difficult nigh impossible to do it over the UK without creating the mother of diplomatic incidents.
As for China, Iran, Russia or any other country actually using RPAS for targeting purposes, we haven't seen any reports. Again, if Russian were to use RPAS in Chechnya, Dagestan etc then it would be up to them to explain the legalities. In fact, it wouldnt surprise me if they had already done so.
I am trying to answer a specific post by someone on this forum regarding a specific question aired in the media. The fact that other countries have unmanned, armed and persistent ISTAR is not in dispute.
