That certainly was impressive. A little aircraft dropping off, pilots ejecting.

It does seem that short range remotely flown spies in the sky have a great future. With the GPS and electronic control systems possible now, perhaps with photovoltaic power supplies, little aircraft could do a lot.

The could carry precision weapons too, which depend on precision rather than scale of blast. Say, for example, a guided dropping piece of metal could land within centimetres of a designated location, perhaps even on somebody's head.
