The future of Modern Warfare is in the hands of  spies with wings flying in the battlefields without being noticed and these beasts are so cruel that they never miss their target and covers hundred of thousands of miles without refueling and are called as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles or UAV’s.

According ot P.W. Singer, there are a total of 44 countries having UAV’s in operation and last year US Air Force trained more UAV pilots than fighter and Bomber pilots combined.

Companies that have been designing UAV are specifically concentrating on its speed and intelligent control systems that can keep it airborne for longer periods of time and increase its accuracy.

We have compiled a list of some of the major UAVs that are in operation and some are concepts that will rule the skies in future.
