Ford's got to flog it's auto business I guess.:) Tying a drone to a launch vehicle that will have to contend with traffic gridlock seems counter-intuitive.

Hopefully some of the new anti-drone devices prove themselves shortly. It appears some allies may bankrupt themselves if they continue with their current approach.:eek:nfloorl:

US ally used $3 million Patriot missile to shoot down a $200 drone - Business Insider
I read that earlier today and thought may have been an over zealous air defence officer with a new toy. They might've got a rather terse please explain afterwards from the Treasury :) Could be a promotion killer :eek:nfloorl:

In all seriousness though ... you could completely overwhelm an enemy's defences with several hundred drones purchased from toys 'r' us.

All those armies which got rid of light AAA may be thinking "Oh shit!" right now. Looks like exactly the right sort of weapon for shooting down cheap little UAVs, especially if there's some sort of flechette or fragmentation round available. Nothing too expensive & fancy, mind you.
