You can help by murdering the shit out of him, as it has become rather stupid, tedious and unfunny.

An example of the effect: a green UAV crashed in the middle of a forest.

Murder Drones refers to a phenomena in which an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (or what normal people call a "drone") suddenly torpedoes into the ground, usually towards human targets, with no explanation or reason, hence the name. The existence of the phenomena has left the "scientists" baffled.

History

Examples of the phenomena began emerging around 2014, when a Elbit Hermes 450 was seen falling into the middle of a busy roundabout, having suddenly lost connection while gliding over it. Luckily, nobody (of significance) was hurt. Following a string of similar reports in 2015 and 2016, the Government confiscated 2000 UAVs "under the assumption they were defective".

The BBC reported on a similar case in 2019 when an Alauda Airspeeder Mk II "ran out of battery" approximately 2,400 m in the air. Apparently, nobody was injured, but we dispute that.

Luckily, nobody seemed to care, even though the amount of sudden UAV "connection drops" began to dramatically increase. It's now impossible to enter a busy area and not find a small contraption of steel and plastic stuck in the road, usually impaling a pile of blood and flesh. The government still tried to cover it up anyway.

Trivia

- A subreddit exists to document examples of erratic UAV behavior, mostly among UAVs that resemble birds, because they had to be sneaky to avoid being censored.
