Pretty impressive, and the company is already filling orders for Israel and others.

Impressive. Still,,, it's an aircraft,,, so it can be shot down by opposing forces. But I do see possibilities.

Impressive but as Contender said; it can be shot down. I was thinking along the lines of one shot hitting one blade and now you have an out of balance condition that is going to shake the crap out of the entire system. I wonder if it is gyro stabilized?

I forsee a round for the 40mm grenade launcher that fires a delayed-fuse projectile that spreads a cloud of Kevlar fibers to entangle the propellers.

There will be, or probably already are, tactics developed for this tech that will take all of that and more into consideration. Just like any other weapon system. And like any other weapon system these are expendable, and likely cheaper than most other systems. So who cares if one, or a hundred, get shot down?

One good shot with an EMP can take all of these out in the air..

You got a EMP gun in your pocket? :wink:

Well no.. Not me personally.. Although I have been accused of producing near lethal emissions at times..

But I'm sure someone will build a portable gun that could deliver this pulse if needed..

After all, someone designed the radar detector, right after the radar gun for the cops. It all balances out in the end.

Trust me, someone in the military either already has this technology, or will create it as a defense. It just makes sense by my thinking..

Yawn. Isis and such are already using commercially available drones to drop grenades small mortar rounds. Apparently they are small and hard to hit. Highly maneuverable and can fly NOE.
