A 6lb drone is not exactly a deterrent for war.

Don't automatically assume this is foreign, not all branches of the U.S. government play nice with the other branches of the U.S. government.

Well this wasn't a quad copter someone bought at a Walmart. This thing was allegedly 5ft by 3ft, had a range in excess of 50 miles, outran a police helicopter (though as other comments have pointed out, take that with a grain of salt) and was able to reach and cruise at 14,000ft.

I'd like to hear why you think some branch of the US government would be behind this. To what end?
