You want to test your ability to get physical payloads in place, e.g. in the future the drone could carry a bomb or something else clever (listening devices? Dropping gallium on aluminum airplanes? Etc)
You want low angle shots?
You're not well funded enough to get good satellite photos?
- SketchySeaBeast 5y ago> Dropping gallium on aluminum airplanes? Is there anything that building a delivery mechanism to carry and then drop gallium onto a plane does that an actual gun wouldn't?
- gpm 5y agoBefuddle the public with scary sounding words? Hypothetically it might act as a more subtle form of sabotage, the goal being to bring down a plane in the air. It might also be harder to cleanup/patch than a bullet hole if detected. I don't think it's a serious threat though and is really acting as a stand in for "fancy forms of sabotage".

- bobthepanda 5y agoIt doesn‘t need a clear vantage point with straight-line access to the target.
- raziel2701 5y agoIt's stealthier and quieter.
- _1100 5y agoAll three of your points make sense, but for me the last point really resonates. No need for a space program, or going through someone that does. Just acquire drone > use drone.
