"Saudi Aramco oil facility attacked; What makes drone attacks so dangerous"

Drones are much-sought after by terror groups because they provide them the capability to carry out airstrikes, besides being smaller and cheaper in comparison to conventional weapons.

The drone attacks have crippled Saudi Arabia's oil facilities and its immediate fallout was seen in the form of a global surge in crude oil prices. Saudi Arabia is the world's leading oil exporter.

In the last few decades, drone technology has become incredibly popular and its rapid proliferation among combatant groups isn't surprising. The primary reason for this proliferation is that drones are relatively cheaper in comparison to conventional weapons and yet can achieve far more destructive results.
