Israel To Develop Bionic Hornets for Death and Destruction

Posted on November 19th, 2006 in Military

It looks like the US Government aren't the only folks looking into robotic insects for death and destruction. The Israeli government is working with scientists to develop a robotic hornet to locate, spy on, and ultimately kill terrorists and suicide bombers.

"The war in Lebanon proved that we need smaller weaponry. It's illogical to send a plane worth $100 million against a suicidal terrorist."


Don't forget that the US Government is also working on bionic sharks.

    Most of the comments I have read expressing an opinion of these bionic hornets are negative but I believe that these devices could be the future of warfare. In Afghanistan, the weapon systems used by the coalition are inefficient in terms of cost and effectiveness ( the one exception being the sniper rifle ). A radical reshaping is required and these nanoweapons appear to me to possibly provide the answer if they can be made to work.
