A man was surprised that he was able to land his drone on the deck of England's brand new HMS Queen Elizabeth.

Landing on the best ship the British navy has without been noticed? Something does not smell good.

That could be tricky. It shows the ability of drones to go anywhere, and they can carry explosives. It would be tough for radar to spot something that small.

The problems is really a mixed bag.

The carrier is awaiting planes from America.Since I believe the planes are having problems perhaps they decided to use drones

If it's the F-35, they'd be better off with drones.

There is a sister carrier planned, and yes jerry, the aircraft is the f-35..at £100 million each on top of the £3 billion for the carrier..And yet half the population is struggling to make ends meet, the road and rail networks are under strain and our Hospitals are under funded..good to see we are getting our priorities right!!

I am a very old man who had to fight a war because we had failed to rearm and Hitler took advantage of our weakness..Nothing has changed.In an ideal world you envisage the money would be spent on other things but there are countries that despise weakness so things like carriers are necessary,having said that they are vulnerable to a missile strike and I would like to see the money spent on aircraft.The zrmy could do with beefing up,too.

This is strange. And the Ministry of Defense told him the crew was on land at dinner. I really hope they didn't leave the keys in it!!

You are quite right viscountdriver..We must prepare for the worst, but just as you said..it would take just one missile to wipe her out and the aircraft on board. Far better to spend money on beefing up our Army and land based aircraft.

I downloaded a video of a drone crashing into the Seattle Space Needle. Just found it again in my downloaded video folder and watched it last night. Really nice video of the Space Needle and Seattle before the drone crashed.

The ship crew probably did not have the proper countermeasure equipment. Like a large butterfly net.
