    Marines train with prototype drone-killer

    Marines train with prototype drone-killer

    This is pretty cool. Pictures at the link.


    Pictures show the incredible war drill resembling something out of Call of Duty: Black Ops as soldiers test out the US Military’s most advanced new weaponry.

    Some 180 US Marines loaded up with sci-fi style gear in the exercise at Camp Pendleton in California.


    The drill was designed to test the troops skill with the new weapons, and how they could handle battles in urban areas.


    Focus was placed on the soldiers ability to blast drones out of the skies using jammers and lasers.

    Soon we will have Terminators controlled by humans in bunkers, we will have auto driving tanks with lasers operated by humans in a bunker, self flying bomber runs.

    In effect we will be able to destroy the planet and never lose a soldier, just 3 billion other people.

    We still need one of those EMP thingies to combat what everybody has been telling us could be done to us.
