Drones can be used for more than just photography and videography.
Kinetic bombardment is a technique that uses gravity to accelerate objects to high speeds.
The US Air Force had a project called the Rods from God, which involved dropping tungsten rods from orbit.
Creating metal darts for a drone strike is relatively easy and inexpensive.
The accuracy of the drone strike can be improved with laser targeting or GPS positioning.
Can a consumer drone be used for kinetic bombardment?
—While consumer drones may not have the capability to reach the speeds required for kinetic bombardment, it is possible to modify them for similar purposes.
Is it legal to drop objects from a drone?
—The legality of dropping objects from a drone may vary depending on the jurisdiction. It is important to research and comply with local regulations.
How accurate is the drone's targeting?
—The accuracy of the drone's targeting depends on various factors, such as the height from which the objects are dropped and the precision of the drone's navigation system.
Are there any safety concerns when conducting drone strikes?
—Safety should always be a top priority when conducting drone strikes. It is essential to ensure that the area is clear of people or animals and to take precautions to prevent accidents.
What are the potential applications of drone strikes?
—Drone strikes can have various applications, including delivery of supplies, search and rescue operations, and agricultural purposes.
