I concur, this would be good for developing cheap drone warfare capabilities. I mean, I love loud explosions and the sound of freedom because I'm not a wuss, but we need to get our drone game on China's level.

Drones have their own failure mode https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05-27/sydney-vivid-festival...

Pollution too.

Microbits of plastic, atmospheric smoke, splintered pieces of wood, wildfires.

freedom loving Democratic socialist here, this stance is very St Thomas Aquinas of you. let people continue to do the things you did without pulling up the ladder behind you. it's just for a night or two, the animals will live.

Ban keeping animals and replace them with robots or animal films.

Barking dogs cause far more irritation than the nightly fireworks in June and July.

Plus, the animals would not have to suffer.

This is almost certain to backfire. Better: make drone shows more available, and maybe subsidise them with a tax on fireworks.
