I was expecting a story about the revival of the legendary Dodge muscle car.

Yeah, me too... as I have a 2018 Challenger 392, complete with Super Bee logo

Time to invest in Baygon and Raid stocks, I guess...

Already here in use by the British Army.

They are not cheap, but dear me, not that much larger than your average bumble bee.

Or flamethrowers with binaural acoustic aiming.
