You want Skynet, cause this is how you get Skynet.

seriously, how long before these drones start dropping bombs?

Apparently there is a big focus on relatively cheap drones that can launch a number of even cheaper drones that go forth and do their thing.

Makes complete sense - I would hope that Taiwan gets 100 of these each with 10 mini hellfires that can take out a PLAN armada invasion craft.

Hopefully it has a better career than its namesake.
