Microdrone Spy Planes
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?"
They can make this but they still can't make me a decent jetpack? I'm begining to think we will never get our flying shark we were promised
Model planes to me. Had one when I was a kid.
Fit in backpack. Was a little over a foot wide. Flew it into a window once...oh wait......

I guess someone at the Israeli army was playing the mission where you fly the rc chopper into the construction site...
The perfect sig is a lot like silence, only louder
You get the camera view from the nose of a cruise missile as it flies through one of Saddam's bunkers, showing lots of Iraqi soldiers scrambling out of the way as the missile negotiates hallways, doors, stairwells, bathrooms and then flies out a window and explodes in a school down the street.
How come Slashdot never gets Slashdotted?
That's good, but too high-brow for this crowd. They'll never get the Borg/Hebrew Communal farming reference. Suggest not posting again.
