Observations of shoot-downs of Yemeni drones over Saudi Arabia bound to Israel by the US Navy, caused the
following words:  "that's retarded!".

It's a game of economics the Yemeni know this, the US Navy can't sustain javeling a missile at every
drone at a cost of 20 million dollars vs. 500 dollars.  While it was a nice display, it is unfortunately not
sustainable.  Enemies of "the big satan" would most likely be bankrolling this waste as it clearly is a win
for the Yemeni Rebels.

Enter the Electric Eel / Stingray Drone which is basically an aircraft drone launched from a Navy ship with
a catapult, and is laden with a huge Capacitor and an EMP cannon.  It is guided to the Rebel drone and shoots
it out of the sky by frying its electronics.  Kill done, then it returns to either a water landing or being
caught another way at the Naval ship.

Either way even if it is lost, the cost is reduced and not in the theatre of millions of dollars.

This is the start of drone aircraft wars.
