3 July 2021 - Russian harassment

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

Are Russian warplanes buzzing your navy ships in the Black Sea? There is a simple deterrent: Get a bunch of cheap commercial quadcopters “to keep an eye out” and put them in the air. Be sure to announce it, to prevent accidents. If there’s a collision anyway, have fun rescuing the pilot and then present Russia with a bill for $200 to replace your hardware.

clue:

The 21st century deniable barrage balloon.

take oh take this clue away
