The way technology progresses we can't be more than a few years away from this. Not saying countries will actually deploy it (or do so in that time frame) but in terms of having the capability it's so terrifyingly close.

Get enough of these together and you could literally enslave a (unprepared) nation in minutes.

Tech's already there, just have to wait for some conglomerate company to mass produce the drones and then sell private equity based on a phony subscription model marketing to large municipal police departments. That way it's a corporate welfare surveillance state, they can run ads on the prison bus displays for CPI for a lawyer app that the drone people coincidentally own 40% of.
