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?"

    lucky these are Israli planes. If they were made for the US army, they would cost $10,000 a piece, would fly slower, have shorter battery life, and break all the time (order me 5,000)

  4. foretold in Revelation? by supercooled32 · · Score: 0, Troll

    In the book of the Revelation, (the last book of the new testament) there is a strange prophecy which seems to be an ancient and archaic description of some sort of modern day military flying droid; with a speciality on chemical warfare.

    If this truely what St John foresaw then this is probably one step closer to the following passages being fulfilled

    7The locusts looked like horses armed for battle. They had gold crowns on their heads, and they had human faces. 8Their hair was long like the hair of a woman, and their teeth were like the teeth of a lion. 9They wore armor made of iron, and their wings roared like an army of chariots rushing into battle. 10They had tails that stung like scorpions, with power to torture people. This power was given to them for five months. 11Their king is the angel from the bottomless pit; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon--the Destroyer .

    at least "Palestine" has a distinguishable population

    "The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity... In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians, and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct 'Palestinian people' to oppose Zionism. It has also been a 'conceptual' war for the ownership of the term 'Palestinian' which has been transferred over to the Arabs, whereas before 1967, 'Palestine' has always been synonymous with the land of Israel."
