Smaller UAV Defeat
For conspiracy theorists and regular civilians alike the fear of drones is on the rise.

I don’t mean to boast, but that kid in the photo looks like he is definitely going to grow up to be a killer someday (yep, that skinny little kid was me). There I was as a kid, dirt poor, but very creative. I was having dirt clod wars before I really knew what the […]
