Abstract (2. Language): 
A concoction between the technology, entertainment and military has resulted in a ‘new’ kind of warfare, which has started to determine the American counterterrorism strategy, the dronified warfare. The U.S. for a long time now has been the leader in the production and usage of armed drones and has attracted a lot of criticism regarding the way how it conducts the drone strikes, which in many cases has resulted in civilians killed. The U.S. dronified warfare has become the main determinant when discussing the legality, morality and effectiveness of the drone as the weapon, as many critics fail in distinguishing drone as a weapon and dronified warfare as a process. This paper argues that if analyzed separately from the U.S. example, drone is a legal and moral weapon. Nevertheless, the paper emphasizes the fact that the U.S. must change its current way of conducting the strikes by being aware of the fact that the irresponsible way it is acting in the Middle East and regions around, sooner or later will backfire.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Dronlaştırılmış savaş (dronified warfare), ABD’nin Terörle Mücadele Stratejisinde teknolojinin, eğlencenin ve ordunun bir karışımından oluşan yeni bir savaş türü olarak görülmeye başladı. Silahlandırılmış İHA’ların üretiminde ve kullanımında uzun süredir ABD lider konumundadır; bununla birlikte İHA saldırılarının nasıl yapıldığı hususu ve saldırıların çoğunda sivil ölümlere sebebiyet vermesi ile birçok eleştirinin de odak noktası olmaktadır. Eleştirmenlerin çoğu İHA’ları bir silah ve dronlaştırılmış savaşı bir süreç olarak ayırt etmekte güçlük çekerken İHA’ların bir silah olarak hukukiliği, ahlakiliği ve etkililiği tartışmasında ABD’nin dronlaştırılmış savaşı, savaş stratejisi için belirleyici rol oynamaktadır. Bu çalışma, ABD örneğinden bağımsız bir şekilde İHA’nın etik ve hukuki bir silah olduğunu tartışmaktadır ve ABD’nin Ortadoğu’da ve çevresindeki sorumsuz tutumunun er ya da geç geri tepeceğinin de farkında olarak ABD’nin şu anki İHA saldırı biçimini değiştirmesi gerektiğini vurgulamaktadır.
