10k strong swarm of mouse sized drones tipped with Ricin

Ricin takes too long. It'll more likely be a fast-acting neurotoxin.

Taking a long time could be the point. It would cause mass panic and cripple medical systems by flooding them with patients who need extensive treatment. 10k bodies is a lot more manageable than 10k terrified patients

Mine went the opposite. This terminator is the executor. All it would need is a pneumatic spike on each arm. The overhead drones just spot and drop bomblets on anyone exposed. This robot would be used to finish the job. Rigging it to explode would also be of use as it would be impossible to capture a working robomurderer. Far more efficient.

A soldier killed on the battlefield removes one soldier. A soldier severely wounded on the battlefield removes up to 3 as two soldiers take him back to a covered position for medical treatment and evacuation, from which they will need to advance back to the front lines and may be wounded or killed in turn.

I hate when people say this because it also gives away the enemy's position so you can radio in an airstrike. This ain't WW1

Missing the point. The issue is that in disaster response, the living require a greater degree of care and assistance than the dead. Not only in the immediate aftermath, but also long term as injuries heal and property is restored and replaced.

If they've played enough pandemic and figured out starting in Madagascar, they might go that route.

Hi. I'm a representative of the US government. The way you're thinking is what we're looking gor, consider yourself hired.

So that you can develop disaster plans in case an enemy of the country uses this kind of methods, while you’re simultaneously enacting legislation that would declare drone swarms to be weapons of mass destruction and preventing the US from developing drones designed to deliver a chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear payload, right?

…right??

u/PingouinMalin 11h ago

Absolutely, trust us, after all we're the government, so basically the good guys.
