On 40 of the first 44 days of this year the wind speed was force 8 or stronger.

Good luck with that then.

Maybe some sort of collaboration with the companies that make those loitering munitions might work. Droney McDroneface sets off for Fetlar, judges wind speed accordingly before diving through your roof, delivering (pieces of) your package directly in the house.

I understand they’re interested in some of the captured Russian Grad MLRS systems. An entire town’s* packages can be delivered in the approximate direction of their recipient in 30 noisy seconds.

*not the town they’re addressed to obviously.
