A downed drone in southern Russia leaves windows blown out and cars damaged in the historic centre of Rostov-on-Don, not far from military headquarters. Moscow on September 7 said it had shot down five Ukrainian drones in the south of Russia and near the capital, leaving one injured. IMAGES
Drones have revolutionised many industries already, including photography, military reconnaissance, and even sports video, but the latest drone innovation may save your life. A unique quadcopter drone developed for the beaches of Spanish Catalonia is designed to save drowning bathers by tossing them a lifejacket from the air. The drone is operated by rescue workers from the beach, which use a built-in video camera to navigate the quadcopter and life vest to a drowning swimmer and allows rescuers to monitor an emergency situation real-time. Developers claim the drone can reach a drowning bather in less than a minute, compared to a life guard, who usually takes up to three minutes. The drone is still being tested, but it could be saving lives by the end of the year.
A radio-controlled drone carrying contraband to an Oklahoma prison was recovered by authorities on Tuesday morning after it crashed when it collided with a wire fence, according to a statement from the Oklahoma Department of Corrections.
