I've always been a tinker. I started by taking stuff apart. Then I learned how to put stuff back together, then how to fix it. It's a way of life for me really. http://justatinker.com
For the most part, I don't believe nihilism should be a crime... but I'd make an exception in ๐ฉ๐ช๐ด casa! ๐

Note to friendly security forces everywhere. ๐ง Beanbag guns, rubber bullets and net launching guns will easily bring down even a big quadcopter at close range. These non lethal methods could be deployed at scale with a minimum amount of training to non-security personal like that airport bus driver.

Here's a clear example how drones are changing the arc of modern warfare. This drone, worth the price of a compact car, wasted 3 missiles, each worth the price of a luxury home! If any had hit, the drone ๐ด๐ต๐ช๐ญ๐ญ wins! Like a car, it takes hours to make a drone. Like a house, missiles take ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ค๐ฉ longer.

If the attack in Leipzig and/or other similar drone attacks elsewhere in Europe had succeeded, would Germany or another NATO country invoke Article V?
