Seems the Thai military had to enlist a TV operator's drone equipped with thermal imagery to locate the crazy gunman who shot scores of people in Northeastern Thailand. That would be a Mavic Enterprise, right? Korat Soldier's Deadly Rampage Reveals Security Lapses

I guess no need to comment on the mention of an F-35 on an aircraft carrier(!) and a Mavic with a small explosive payload...

The same thing happened to me today. I was flying over a dam called “Plover Cove”, in Hong Kong, when a single propeller plane came in for something akin to a dive-bomb, flying in at 70-80 m altitude over the dam.
