(Yahoo News) Sean D. Naylor - One small U.S. special operations unit has killed more Islamic State extremists than any other: the company of Gray Eagle drones in the Army's 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. E Company is credited with "well over 340 enemy killed in action" in Afghanistan and the Iraq-Syria theater between August 2014 and July 2015, according to a November 2015 Army award for the unit. In addition, flying from a base in Iraq to attack targets in Syria, the drone company has launched more than a thousand Hellfire missiles in the last two to three years.
