Sounds like a ripe target. You shot down one and you take out 100 possible attacks.

>China has unveiled a chilling new weapons aircraft in its rapidly expanding aerial arsenal - a fearsome drone-launching mothership capable of releasing 100 kamikaze UAV's in seconds.
Dubbed the Jiu Tun, meaning Sky High, the huge unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) boasts an 82ft wingspan and can fly for 12 hours, more than enough time to wreak havoc in Taiwan, Japan, or even US bases in the Pacific.
State media reported over the weekend that the fourth prototype of the high-tech UAV had just completed structural assembly and was now undergoing final installation and testing.
It is set to take to the skies for its maiden flight next month, as part of Beijing's aggressive push to beef up its air force in a move likely to raise eyebrows in Washington and rattle nerves across Asia.
Developed by Shaanix Unmanned Equipment Technology, the Jiu Tun was first paraded at China's largest aviation event - the Zhuhai Air Show - back in November.
