| Tribesmen fire rockets at drones in Miranshah |
| 2008-10-08 |
| Pilotless aircraft continued their flights over Miranshah as tribesmen fired rockets to target them as they entered Pakistan's airspace on Tuesday. According to locals, the tribesmen fired without success on the drones when they attempted to fly at low altitude in various areas of the agency. The tribesmen in the Mir Ali sub-division of North Waziristan Agency had also fired rockets at two drones that had crossed into Pakistan on October 5. The two drones entered Pakistani airspace from Afghanistan, locals said. |

| #8 I wonder, couldn't an ultra small drone be created for propaganda purposes/ It could fly for hours over enemy territory and broadcast at will and generally drive those on the ground quite goofy. |

| #6 So the fuzzy-wuzzys are going ape-sh*t? There are several possibilities here. The buzz overhead can induce frustration and fear. Excellent. Play it and orchestrate it. Make their inner soul express itself. Let's beat on the lid. |
