With the Radio Blasting Go Cruising Just as Fast as We Can

End of the spring
And here she comes back
Hi, hi, hi, hi there
Them summer days
Those summer days
Hot fun in the summertime
Hot fun in the summertime
Hot fun in the summertime
Hot fun in the summertime
Well, she got her daddy's car
And she cruised through the hamburger stand, now
Seems she forgot all about the library
Like she told her old man, now
And with the radio blasting
Goes cruising just as fast as she can now
And she'll have fun, fun, fun till her daddy takes the T-bird away

This is no science fiction tale. It’s what the Ukranians just did in Russia. It’s what the Israelis just did in Iran.
There are 5 shipping containers loaded with deadly attack drones. How can you find them?
