Microdrone Spy Planes

Posted by michael on from the i-spy-with-my-little-eye dept.

glinden writes "BBC News is reporting that Israel is now deploying microdrone spy planes. These planes have a wingspan of 13 inches (33 cm), can be carried in a backpack, can be launched by a single soldier, and can even fly through windows. The next step in the drone wars?"

    Fly through window, Then EXPLODE... Now That would be cool.

    This is probably what the little plane will eventually be used for. An ounce of Cemtex plastic explosive surrounded by very hard plastic that rips apart skin, burrows deeply, and can't be detected by X-rays (Rhetegen sp? rays) enclosed on a little plane. Or the little plane can be the device sending guidance information to a larger missle. Another nasty assassination tool.

    So what's so 'cool' about this kind of murder? Are you some kind of death freak? Or just another silly American suburban child-man who has been shielded from all possible exposure to real blood and evil except for ultra-violent movies and video games.

    Murder is not 'cool', dude.
