London's "nanodrone" to take on Taliban

James Bond gadgets make their way to reality slowly as a new "nanodrone" was devised by the UK and being tested by the US military forces to take on Taliban. This spy drone called the SQ-4 Recon, worth £20,000 and one of the smallest unmanned aerial vehicles in the world, weights a meager 198 grams.

It is a palm sized bot that would be a potent weapon which would be a valuable addition to the forces to combat the Taliban.

Higher officials of the Military opine that this would be useful in spying the people of Afghanistan while not worrying about the lives of the soldiers. This SQ-4 Recon resembles Little Nellie that James Bond operates in the movie "You Only Live Twice".

Devised by Cardiff-based BCB International and Middlesex University's Autonomous Systems Laboratory, the SQ-4 Recon is being examined by the US military.

This drone shelves two cameras to look over hills and inside the army bunkers too without posing risks to the lives of soldiers and also can be operated remotely according to Daily Mail.
