&quot;Speaking of the recent Israeli explosive pager attack, consider how tiny pagers are and how they only needed a very tiny amount of explosives in those small pagers to be effective.&quot;

That effectiveness was due to the fact the pagers were right next to the human body they were meant to maim when they exploded, and oh boy, did they ever...  ;)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Years before the current drone craze, I already anticipated that future wars will involve drops of thousands of tiny deadly drones.  That appears to be on track for reality within a few years.

This article hints upon a simple fact:  it is nearly impossible to defend against a drop of several thousand tiny drones--especially if they are autonomous (e.g. have simple mammal heat-signature seeking ability).  Add the fact that several thousand drones should be a tiny fraction of the cost of more traditional armaments and you realize that this is the future of warfare.

If you doubt the utility and effectiveness of deploying large swarms of tiny deadly drones, just compare that concept to hornets and imagine trying to defend yourself after someone unleashed an entire hornet nest in your immediate vicinity.  Now, upsize the hornets slightly and overlay the recent Israeli explosive pager attack and the picture should become pretty clear.

Speaking of the recent Israeli explosive pager attack, consider how tiny pagers are and how they only needed a very tiny amount of explosives in those small pagers to be effective.  You can think of that pager attack as a tiny deadly drone swarm attack--the only exception being that the tiny pagers did not have to fly to their intended targets.]]></description>

It would work on birds if they fly really slow and straight.  Having said that, note that current federal law bans robotic firearms with remotely operated triggers.]]></description>

LifeSavor,

A net which disables small and inexpensive drones can function with very flimsy (e.g. light weight) thread.  That being the case, a net the size of a football field should be surprisingly light in weight and therefore surprisingly easy to send into the air with small and inexpensive drones.

I can only imagine that aggressors would recognize this defensive technique, though, and simply send swarms which are much more spread out--at least spread out initially.]]></description>
