Where’s my wide spectrum jammer when I need it? It’d look like the energizer bunny ad with them all dropping like rocks. ;-)

The total flight time for these things can’t be very long.

The minute I saw the headline and first sentences, I thought of Skynet becoming self-aware, too. Classic.

Could they fly a thousand miles and then drop a couple 1000 lb bombs on something? No? Then who cares?

This is the future of warfare.
1) Get them to swarm - DONE.

Disney is already putting on light shows with hundreds of drones flying in formation. Guess DOD is copycatting. :)

Mid air recharging, solar power, juicing up from nearby power lines, hanging around in the belly of the mother ship until needed. Lots of possibilities. We live in interesting times.
