San Nicolas de Bari, Cuba, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 27th Apr, 2021 ) :Disguised as a sparrowhawk, and convincingly mimicking its predatory cry, a drone made of wood, scrap metal and plastic disperses birds at a Cuban airfield.
From afar one could be fooled: soaring and swooping with its 1.3-meter (4.3-foot) wingspan, the mechanical bird flies autonomously for an hour at a time, and boasts impressive, if somewhat stiff plumage.
It is the creation of a group of engineers keen to develop cheap, local alternatives to foreign-made technology on the communist island under US sanctions since 1962.
Eighty percent of the mechanical bird is fashioned by hand mainly in makeshift workshops set up at the homes of individual engineers, who largely have to make do with the most basic equipment and parts.
