The Sun is famous for their exaggerated news, and this is one more instance.

Maybe.

But it's within the abilities of a hobbyist to build a dragonfly-sized drone with video capabilities. It's not beyond the realm of imagination that a mosquito-sized one could be built by entities who have real funding.

It's the power supply that will be your problem.

I mean... that is a video of a tiny drone. Make of it what you will, but the proof is in the pudding.

Most of us probably aren't envisioning the Dune hunter-seeker being developed from this, but even a simple cavity resonator would make it a weapon beyond defending against: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thing_(listening_device)

In this day and age, just having video of something is not really strong evidence that the thing really exists.

Do these drones share the same weaknesses of real mosquitos such as air speed capabilities? If so a simple air filtration system and air movers/blowers near each door could mitigate them.
