About the app: DRONE STRIKE

If you like your games to reflect outdated military tactics, there's Call of Duty. For modern warfare, there's only one and it's Drone Strike! See what it's like to control real drones! Incredibly realistic, you can almost feel the indifference that overcomes you as you destroy a school on the other side of the world.

Reviews from the app store:

★★★☆☆ I had a great time playing, but the day after I launched a drone strike in my game on a small Afghanistan village called Tagab, I saw a news report about a real drone attack in Tagab which is weird.

★☆☆☆☆ Wait, is this actually killing people?

★★★★☆ I love it! I just killed hundreds of people and all I had to do was press one button!!!!!!
