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?"

    [Mod suggestion: Offtopic -1] Yippee !!!

    Now we can have wars where machines kill each other leaving people alone!

    The fact that we can spend these research $$$ on finding a cure for AIDS or cancer, alternative energy, cheaper forms of electronic communications etc.. is irrelevant. These machines of war will surely save more lives.

    This is so cool I need to go to the bathroom.

    First the wall, then the assassination of a 70 years old crippled man on a wheel chair with 3 rockets launched from an unmanned aerial vehicles, with this they have sunk to new unprecedented lows, cowards hiding behind tons of high tech weapons.

      Cowards hiding behind high tech weapons? This is 2004. Swords and shields are passe.

      That is not what I meant by my argument, if you are opponent is so weak and underdeveloped and yet you continue flexing your high-tech weapons and crush people ruthlessly and relentlessly like what is going on these days you are called a coward in my book, if the Palestinians are equally armed we will witness a totally different outcome of this war. Call me a terror supporter or an anti-Semitic I don't care, the real terrorist are the Israelis and the whole world knows that but too afraid to admit it because it is not politically correct, just as they are afraid to admit that feminism is crap, and to admit that there are difference between races (which is not a bad thing btw, every race excels in certain aspects in a complimentary way).

    Well, the bible says otherwise.

    They should save the money like the Palestinians and have the mentally challenged kids blow up their enemy.
