Scary Headline

Can you find a headline scarier than the one posted here, which happened in Libya?

Not good, I wondered too what "asymmetric warfare" in "The Turkish-built Kargu-2, a deadly attack drone designed for asymmetric warfare", means.

On the other hand, someone sent a drone to film the latest Icelandic volcano and the drone flew into it... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-europe-57314928

That appears to be human pilot error - do not fly into giant flames.

That looks like an expensive mistake.

I knew that, but it still wasn't clear to me whether the drone was supposed to be working for Goliath or David.

Asymmetric warfare - ah, thanks for that. I might use that in an annotation sometime.
