The best attack is the one they never see coming. Growing up my little brother was a mouthy little ass and one day while playing frisbee he started popping off stupidly. I told him that if he didn't knock it off I was going to knock his head off with said frisbee. The next throw I did I layed into it hard and managed to nail him in the face so hard he got a massive black eye out of it. The best part of it was him having to explain to our parents and his friends that he got taken out by a Frisbee, from hundred-plus feet out with plenty of time to duck, for acting like a dumbass. 🤣

Essentially a vertical conveyor system used to move granular materials like plastic beads, sand, or grain straight up in small footprint factory settings. Very inventive. I asked if they had any concerns about clogging and the person showing me grinned and said - "Well we had some of our best R&D people standing there for over an hour throwing empty beer cans into it and no clogs, so.... no worries". We both shared a moment as we considered how that dedicated R&D team came up with enough empty cans.

This reminds me of a story. Once there was a business with one issue. Sometimes the automatic system loading items into boxes would skip a box, leaving it empty when it reached the end of the line. The owner spent millions to have engineers make a weight system that buzzed when an empty box was detected so the humans would go deal with it. Some months later there was not one single report of an empty box. When the owner checked out his site he found a box fan blowing across the assembly line and it was pushing boxes into a bin. Turns out the humans hated buzzing noises and invented ther own 20.00 solution!

Before their lore and plot got stupid due to retcons, Warframe had a note where the reason that the weapons used by futuristic space ninjas weren't more advanced was because they were created to fight a super advanced super adaptive enemy that kept adapting to the super space tech of the time. It was then discovered that while they could adapt to and subvert most advanced weapons, a simple slug of metal propelled by an explosive propellent out of a tube of metal with grooves on the inside to impart a rotation upon the projectile was too simple for them to adapt to. Sometimes in the race to design something ever more advanced to overcome ever more advanced weapons and defenses, defending against something simple falls out of favour because it just doesn't seem like anyone would ever bother using such a thing again. It is why there is the occasional story of modern military forces having a really hard time overcoming a far more primitive armor or weapon. It just wasn't made to solve that problem.

I remember many years ago looking at an Australian machine called an Olds Elevator. Essentially a vertical conveyor system used to move granular materials like plastic beads, sand, or grain straight up in small footprint factory settings. Very inventive. I asked if they had any concerns about clogging and the person showing me grinned and said - "Well we had some of our best R&D people standing there for over an hour throwing empty beer cans into it and no clogs, so.... no worries". We both shared a moment as we considered how that dedicated R&D team came up with enough empty cans.

Great, so they're potentially invisible to radar, doppler, infrared, and various multispectrum scanning systems, and the only currently known reliable means of detecting them would be seeing them with a pair of binoculars, and then by the time you're able to confirm what it is they are well within range to engage systems for powered flight on their final approach vector, and your only possible hope at that point is point-defense similar to CWIS or possibly a smokescreen close enough to the surface that it conceals your personnel and equipment just barely enough that it lessens the probability of the drone targeting and hitting something important.

The British didn't want to let the Germans know about radar. But we're being asked by the press why British pilots. Were so good at detecting the Germans at night.
