3. That's interesting. I can imagine some of the conversations
in Pakistan:

Muhammad: I have it! Here are video from this one drone!
Achmed: I see it! What is it we look at?
Muhammad: One minute, please. I am thinking...I know...this one drone sees our building.
Achmed: Excellent work, Muhammad. Excellent....BOOM!
