Those look like a swarm of New Hampshire black flies, only smaller.

So remind me again when does Skynet become self-aware? I've got to revamp my stockpiling efforts.

Pff, dont worry.
They are still human made, and not Xen.

Manhacks were definitely the first thing to come to mind.
Don't worry, though. We aren't alone:

Build a taser into each of those and SWAT has a new favorite toy.
The military is already working on (has?) next-gen mini UAV's capable of automatically working together in formation to recon, sweep and take out targets, kamikazee-style if need be. So yeah, it's only a matter of time.

That'd work. The manhacks in Half-Life just did the kamikaze thing with sharpened rotors. Simpler, but brutally effective.
