I'm a bit sad that it is a hexcopter. A plane would be a lot cheaper and more efficient for this application.

Can't believe it's taken this long for this exploit.

agree -- the asymmetry offered by drones is ripe for exploitation. already happening:

and

. more importantly, i'm guessing malicious actors may be testing out defenses in these articles:

(and the like). why put someone on the plane to take it down when you can just throw up a drone to fly into the turbine on approach?
