This makes me think about what warfare will be like in the future. I saw recently where it was posted (maybe here) where a large transport type plane would fly over a city or base they wanted to attack and it would release thousand of these miniature drones and they would be programmed to go at a person's head and when it contacted it, it would set off a relatively small explosive charge, just large enough to kill a person.

Then I read about how the Russians would attack a U.S. aircraft carrier. They would launch about 30 cruise missiles at it, with all but one staying low, below the horizon. One would rise up high enough to see the ship and relay the info to the other missiles. If it was shot down, then one of the remaining 29 would rise up to take it's place.

It's just fascinating to think what warfare will be like in the future.
