Military drone expansion risks humanitarian violations and resource diversion, outweighing security benefits. | While the decision to establish a drone battalion may strengthen national security (SDG 16), it carries significant ethical concerns. The risks of autonomous weapons proliferation and potential violations of humanitarian law outweigh the benefits, particularly given the opportunity cost of diverting resources from social and environmental priorities. The net ethical impact is negative.
