Our first story for this week is about the all-new Anafi USA. The French drone maker, Parrot has announced this new drone which is meant mainly for government use. Touted to give some tough competition to the DJI Matrice 210, this new drone comes with 32x zoom capabilities, awesome stabilization, and a thermal sensor by FLIR. Tune in to this segment of the show to get the entire scoop on this exciting development.

Our next story is about Skydio 2. This autonomous drone was instantly lapped up by drone lovers. However, this meant long waiting times lasting as long as a year. This situation was further exacerbated by the virus outbreak. However, it is heartening to note that Skydio has dealt with these issues and managed to ramp up their production capabilities. Moreover, they have made some improvements to their software which significantly improves the flying experience.

Other stories covered in today's show include a near drone crash in Oklahoma and drone deliveries in Mexico. Tune in for the latest and most exciting updates.
