I find it interesting that the soldiers didn’t defend themselves. Were they unarmed? Are they lacking training? They were definitely afraid. However, even if it was a kamikaze drone loaded with anti personnel munitions I would think that shooting it, even from a few feet away would increase the likelihood of survivability. I understand that we are watching the emergence of genuine fifth generation warfare. However, any Ham Radio operator on the planet could build a directed energy weapon out of an old microwave that would fry even the most hardened drone at five to ten feet. Why are they just cowering like that?
