Perhaps it was a  Russian North Korean drone testing out new anti patriot technology.

It could be that they were older missiles that weren't as good.

We all laughed when they showcased the superiority of quadcopter based warfare on the battlefield.

Who is laughing now?

Maybe PATRIOT missiles are just bad at hitting slow, low-flying targets.

Even if you found a suitable opening, I doubt it would prove all too satisfying. And it might leave some nasty wounds, depending on the moral high ground's geology.

Reminds me of that amateur drone gladiator thing that got shut down a while back

They had all the drones fight each other to be the last one flying, like robot wars but in the sky

Then some top joker put in a drone which had no physical armaments, but just hacked into everyone else's drones and piloted them into the ground

Moral of the story is, IDF should make the drone go down if the missiles can't go up

I'm just imagining Israeli responses to a huge fleet of quad copters that do nothing but fly in circles in restricted airspace.

The trick would be to get the right drones in the right flight patterns that Israel spends more shooting them down than you spend sending them in.

Although given track records over there it would immediately escalate into artillery barrages, rocket attacks, suicide bombings, and a minor-yet-bloody invasion again.

It's a good thing Hezbollah/whoever exposed his ability to bypass the patriot missiles now, rather than later when/if they survive Syria and continue their Jihad against Israel.

Wouldn't work, Israel would get more materiel from USA nullifying resource expenditure, and eventually the IDF would find out whose sending all them bloody drones and pay a visit

A lesson from GTA: San Andreas, that Michelle and Barbara like their men chubby jumping the akrport wall and flying the Dodo outside of allowed airspace lets you avoid the air-defence easier than if you "JUMPJET" the Hydra into existence and go off-piste.

I understood some of those words.
Edit: Has anyone mentioned yet Russia being boycotted from sports events for doping? I just looked at Maria Sharapova's case and had a look at the Wikipedia page for what she was taking"for health reasons" : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meldonium .
Scroll down a bit, look at all those Russian and former eastern block flags, obviously the Soviet Union has a chronic heart problem epidemic, there's no other possible explaination.

They're nearly as bad as badgers. Build a couple of anti-buzzard SAM sites marksdwarf towers and your fortress will look like Baghdad in 2003 from all the aerial bolt spam. You waste a lot of ammo and everything is covered in unslightly exploded buzzard bits and broken bolts.

This Meldonium stuff is nothing comparing to the FSB swapping urine samples scandal :D I am hoping that IOC will do the right decision and we will see no Russians in Rio
