New idea: Pop-up surveillance drones.
Purpose: semi-permanent, semi-hidden recon without requiring travel.
The drone is deposited as a system (probably by a larger drone) into an area that would benefit from periodic surveillance (Probably mostly at night. Probably from a roof).
The system consists of a base station to re-charge (solar) & provide more resilient communications.
The drone will pop-up to a specified height, gather visual data, and return to the base station.
We are seeing an unvarnished expression of the human ID spread over a modern country via its military.

If you are here on COSO tonight you need to follow @Render NNNOOOWWW. This is an historical period in your life.
Russia is potentially going to collapse. That last happened in 1917.
If this goes poorly, there will be a nuclear war tonight.
If this goes well (for us), mankind avoids nuclear war forever.
I'm glad I started drinking tonight.

Here is a video. The motorcade arrives about 45 seconds into the video.

Do yourself a favor and listen to this short lecture on how to learn better.
Clear advice on specific habits to do in order to learn better, faster.
There is a lot in here that you probably have never heard about.

New idea: De-mining, autonomous drones
Drone (probably a rather large one) is fitted with a metal-detecting coil. It is set loose over a battlefield that is probably mined.
Drone runs a pattern over the field and transmits coordinates of where it detected any metal.
Another drone with a more precise metal-detecting coil searches out the hits and gathers more precise data, including photos.
Another drone is dispatched with grenades to hit the mines that are found.

New idea (that could save lives):
Thermite toting, AI-vision drones.
A little drone is programmed to find the barrel of a tank using an off-the shelf machine-vision camera. It inserts a thermite charge into the barrel and it is set off. The thermite melts into the barrel and causes enough damage that it cannot be used. Or, if it is used, will cause a premature explosion of the shell.
It is sent at night, so the MV camera is tuned to infra red.
@Render ?
Damn, this is both well written and entertaining.
