Maybe even a drone that releases yellow jackets! As you said, I’d never put ANYTHING past these freaks.
You took it to the point I was reaching after I posted. Started thinking about simplifing swarm unit code down to pure mechanics of flying and sensor data transmission. Micro EWACS processes incoming data, sends IFF result to swarm and releases the hounds. You added the mothership, bringing the swarm in and out. So in my scenario they appear as fat cooing pigeons or Starlings. One micro-ewacs and as many mothership birds as required. .
Then.... if the weapon is a natural occurring toxin targeting a single individual it is biological warfare but does it fall under WMD parameters? The moral and political question.
"Senator, you accuse State X of using WMDs but autopsy results show hornet toxins to be the cause of death? Aren't you engaging in overblown hyperbole for political reasons? Yes or no?"
Kicking another one out. Binary cocktails, say A is something like liquid valium or a street drug, B is Potassium chloride solution. Together the same combination used on death row.
The painkiller stops the white phosphorus type burning sensation but is quickly metabolized by the body leaving only the pain killer traces on autopsy if one is called for. Net outcome an apparently natural cardiac event instead of one induced by KCl.
One last thing. The Hungarian auto-swarm drones on the video were identified by make and model number. How secure do you think the siftware code is in Hungary? Maybe in rhe other swarm, the muzzie on, some of the chillrun have very specific missions....
