Military drones that spy on the public could replace police helicopters in cities across the US by 2025
Military drones that can fly for more than 40 hours and stream footage of US cities will replace police helicopters by 2025, experts claim.
Multiple defence companies are now racing to build unmanned aircraft that will be allowed to fly in US airspace - which is incredibly tightly controlled.
Leading the race is a long-winged craft called MQ-9B, created by Californian-based company General Atomics.
This could allow law enforcement to stream video of cities from 2,000 feet (50 metres) high using cameras that are powerful enough to pick out individual faces from a crowd.
