[ExI] robo-rescue

[John Clark]

*It's interesting that a drone boat was able to rescue the crew of a
helicopter, but I think it's even more interesting that a $20,000 Iranian
drone was able to knock a AH-64 Apache attack helicopter out of the air
which cost between 52 and 100 million dollars depending on how many bells
and whistles it had. This should make anybody think twice before they
decide to build a huge "Trump class" battleship. *
