….Six Soldiers. "Drones belonging to the Iranian-aligned Houthi movement on Thursday attacked a Yemeni government military parade in the southern province of Lahaj, killing several people, Saudi and Houthi media reported.

There's already an electronic jammer available.
Trained birds of prey are also used. Maybe also arm some guards with pump action shotguns. |

Yep, shotguns will be making a big comeback, I'll bet. |
