Drone wars!!!
http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-39277940?ocid=socialflow_facebook&ns_mchannel=social&ns_campaign=bbcnews&ns_source=facebookA Patriot missile - usually priced at about $3m (£2.5m) - was used to shoot down a small quadcopter drone, according to a US general.
The strike was made by a US ally, Gen David Perkins told a military symposium.
"That quadcopter that cost 200 bucks from Amazon.com did not stand a chance against a Patriot," he said.
