  • birds aren't real
  • birds are government drones
  • birds fly
  • drones fly
  • cruise missiles fly
  • hence, government drones are cruise missiles
  • hence, just strap a claymore to a quadrocopter and government will pay for it

I mean, hand grenades dropped from quadcopter were unironically effective against Russia's invasion of Ukraine in the early days, and arguably a lot of the current emphasis on FPV drones and loitering munitions represent an evolution of the same tactical concept.
