30 new drones
 

Very cool drones, many of them new, being built or in development around the
world. These are some amazing aircraft, ranging from a 150-gram thing with a
single maple-leaf-like wing, up to some monsters with 175-foot wingspan that
carry a boatload of munitions and sensors. Power ranges from fuel-cell
electric power to a modified Ford truck engine that burns hydrogen:

Very interesting, indeed. And those are just some of the ones we know
about. Didn't show any from Russia, China, Japan, the Koreas, etc.

I notice not one can identify and take out a suicide bomber.

The drones we should fear are those that are fueled by cheeseburgers,
tofu or sushi.

Observation of activity can identify those that may be up to no good,
though.
