What did you say the strategy was?

Major U.K. airport has been shut down because someone with drones has worked out how to bypass the jammers and avoid the helicopters and snipers. Military has been called in, only flaw in this plan is that the drones only show up when the runways are reopened.

Drone wars update, they just taxied an easyJet down the runway as bait.

The jamming thing is notable because drones will turn round and go home or crash if they are jammed and these ones are not doing so.

I'm genuinely surprised that it has taken so long for something like this to happen with drones.

The last years Austrian and Germans have dominated formula 1 while the plucky lads from Maranello are fighting against the racism from the Fia. British teams are very bad and soon enough all of them will be bought by russian petro dollars or arabian blood money. Very sad!

The last ten seasons have either been won by the team from Brackley or the team from Milton Keynes which I think are located in the UK? I could be wrong though.

Also Ferrari is literally bankrolled by Big Tobacco, there isn't much moral high ground to be had in the whole sport

It’s amazing how the British like to claim that strong Austrian successes are down to themselves lol. I wonder how great the Brackley team would’ve been if it was backed by the last great British manufacturer Rover who collapsed from mismanagement and fraud the second Germans stopped managing it and British people took over.

And of course let’s remember the rich successes of Milton Keynes when it was owned by Jaguar, really the definition of success right there.

Rover owned by BMW: consistent development of new models, third best selling make in UK, bright future for Longbridge.

Rover owned by British businessmen: requires massive cash injections to avoid bankruptcy, sells 10 year old rebadged Honda accords, high amounts of financial irregularities and embezzlement from high level executives. Longbridge shutdown and Birmingham now controlled by ISIS.

So what you’re saying is that the British cheated and won illegitimately off all the hard work those Japanese engineers put in to get a British based team to the point where it could win? Extremely disgusting and damning of the British.

Except for it was Brawn bolting a Mercades engine in the car at the last second and cutting holes in it so it would fit that made the car work so well.
