Thursday Military Tech - Automated Attack Drones That Can Stay In the Air For A Day. What Could Go Wrong?

Robot Helicopters ftw

Eventually, robots will get fed up with our feeble refusal to defend Western Civilization, and they will take it upon themselves to defend it for us. This may require what civil liberty hysterics will refer to as "enslaving us so we don't get in the way." During what will certainly be a quick transition, the robots will obviously need some kind of automated airplanes and helicopters to establish air superiority. Coincidentally...

Here is an exclusive shot of the stunning Boeing A160T flying over the desert for the first time, looking for humans to destroy... This has been the first test flight of this model, which is turbine-powered instead of piston-powered... This stunning flying cyber-insect measures 35 feet long with a 36-foot rotor diameter.

It can stay in the air for up to 20 hours - just in case, you know, humans try to break their curfews. According to the Boeing Press Release about the A160T's successful test flight, they've named this thing the Hummingbird. Naturally.
