What a load of horse.
I'm sure the facts are correct but the conclusions are single minded and clearly agenda driven. Only the last paragraph is related to the title. The rest of the article is facts and figures loosely bounded by a few words.
The article fails to identify the impact of Army operated tactical UAVs on the rest of the low flying community including in the vicinity of aerodromes, HLZs etc. also ultra light tactical UAVs are never going to be the domain of air forces.
Army aviation is bounded in the tactical, and inflexible due to the constraints of organic brigade resource allocation. If you want to use tactical UAVs for organic brigade recce, that's a perfectly resonable use of the air. Why would the author make a point on that and why would Air Forces be involved?
Air power is unbounded by borders, centrally allocated by those with the big picture and should be left in the hands of those that understand the air environment and consider the other users.
Brigade Recce and Brigadier taxi rides...the army is welcome to it and good luck to them.
Crap article.

"Brigade Recce and Brigadier taxi rides...the army is welcome to it and good luck to them"
Maybe I imagined my last 15 years of aviation experience - especially the last bit on AH which is CAS and not at brigade resource allocation (never heard the term before).
You're right, it certainly wasn't a brilliant article but your comments are just downright derogatory to a rather large part of the war effort in a Joint Helicopter Force.
