Israel is using nanotechnology to try to create a robot no bigger than a hornet that would be able to chase, photograph and kill its targets, an Israeli newspaper reported on Friday.I assume that the Israelis let this information out just to increase their enemy's paranoia.
The flying robot, nicknamed the "bionic hornet", would be able to navigate its way down narrow alleyways to target otherwise unreachable enemies such as rocket launchers, the daily Yedioth Ahronoth said.
It is one of several weapons being developed by scientists to combat militants, it said. Others include super gloves that would give the user the strength of a "bionic man" and miniature sensors to detect suicide bombers....
Prototypes for the new weapons are expected within three years, he said.

That would be a good way to protect informants, spreading disinformation about mini spy robots.
Snopes comes through again.
