Well i guess in a few days we might see some new generation drone and autonomous weapons too which were under wraps so far.

I wonder how long until the first protestor flies a DJI drone into a military helicopter turbine intake?

That would be interesting, considering the feeble drone would have to fly against the massive rotor downwash/draft to get near them. Could also be they have some sort of wire mesh against foreign object intake installed...

Then you would only need the drone to go over the helicopter, then let physics find the way in.

How fast does the rotor spin? To shred, or not to shred, that's the question here...
