Just when you think debka is gaining respect......
What a totally ridiculous story.


Don't discount it to quickly.. A poor man's "V-1" rocket, dropping grenades indiscriminately, with no threat to a pilot...

And now they have the ability to attach remote video cameras to them so that they can be guided in by the controller.

Many models are 1/5 scale replicas:

And a 1/7th scale Lancaster 4 engine bomber (93" wingspan):

I once saw a P-51 replica powered by a chainsaw engine.. I think it was Bob Campbell's 1/3 scale (it was huge):

Anyway... the signals from the RC's can be tracked, intercepted, and jammed (if not "hijacked" and returned to sender).

But given that suicide bombings are drawing so little sympathy for the Palestinians (if not outright disdain), I wouldn't put it past them to use remote control devices.

It would actually be pretty smart... IMO..
