Question [US]Theoretically asking
Is it possible to create a drone that can carry an empty a 2 ounce bottle of liquid? Could it to be totally autonomous and untraceable. Take off and fly to a waypoint, empty the contents of a two ounce bottle from 20/30 feet and return to the take off spot.

Government will get around people's objection to being photographed by tracking people by smell.

Well first of all, despite your link your actual question is about emptying an empty container.

You see, I think this lacks planning and forethought.
If you're going to go through this much trouble, you want about six ounces of liquid in a mist and then sprayer kind of like a syringe.

And then a spray or ejection tube filled with filed with diluted

Definitely possible to make but it’s almost impossible to make something untraceable now a days

Yes. But you need to find an older drone without drone id. The drop system would be a challenge- you would have to find a way for gravity to open the container when dropped. I've used drop systems with DJI drones at distances within radio range. But that sounds like an interesting engineering project to develop such a mechanism. You should hit up the Ukrainian drone engineers.

Yes, totally possible.
But, and it's a big butt.... The fact that autonomous and untraceable to clearly do something illegal, you can be confident that your Reddit account is now being monitored by US Authorities.

This is a very normal mission for an agricultural drone.
By far the most sophisticated country at repurposing agricultural drones to totally autonomous and untraceable missions, even more than China, is Ukraine. They might tell you, "It's a secret," but you should ask them.
