  • There are now drones that mine (and demine), and drones that accelerate in the air to intercept and kill incoming drones in a fit of drone-on-drone violence. Both sides have started mounting various anti-drone tools on the air frames: shotguns, for example, and even nets to entangle an adversary's machines.

The article "War Machines, Instruments of Peace" from Yahoo News discusses the dual role of military technology in both warfare and peacekeeping efforts. It highlights how advanced military hardware, originally designed for combat, is increasingly being utilized in humanitarian missions, disaster relief, and peacekeeping operations. The piece explores examples such as the use of drones for surveillance in conflict zones to protect civilians, military engineers aiding in rebuilding infrastructure after natural disasters, and the deployment of naval ships for evacuation and aid delivery. The narrative also touches on the ethical considerations and the potential for military technology to foster peace by deterring aggression through strength, while also questioning the implications of militarizing humanitarian aid. The article suggests that while these machines are built for war, their capabilities can significantly contribute to peace and stability when applied with the right intentions.
