Introduction
Today at July 5th, the Grineer had access to Orokin cloaking technology and sent out drones to stop further Tenno attacks on their vessel. Everything will be lost if we don't destroy enough in the next 2 days as they will know our every move.
Your Arsenal of Choice
With the debrief from the Lotus, you know you need to destroy them on the first shot or else they will disappear and will continue on with it's intel gathering.

Warframes: The best Warframes of your choice are: Ash, Excalibur, Mag, and Volt as they are the few warframe that can deal massive damage that can reach them to destroy them and Ash and Volt being pin-point on targeting and destroying them with the least amount of energy use.

Weapons: There are a few that you can use to destroy these Grineer Informers such as: Vulkar, Snipetron, Despair, and Paris as they can deal significant amounts of damage in 1 shot or have the armor ignoring potential that some have.
Know Your Enemy
The Grineer Informers are high-flying, cloak-happy drones that the Grineer has deployed in waves of hundreds or even thousands. Knowing that they need to be killed on the first shot, you might want to know how much.

Health: (Although not proven and will be edited) The Grineer Informer has a health of 69, minus the armor but, it's not a problem if you can punch right through it. Although low, if you shoot it once with for example, a weak pistol and accidentally shooting it, of course it will disappear.

How to Spot Them: Now for me, the easiest way to spot them is either, spotting them or using your mini-map to your advantage. How to use them is simple.

Using The Mini-map: Now first off if you are in the radius of the Grineer Informer, your mini-map will be disrupted/fuzzy/jammed/anything other than right, that will mean that you're in the presence of a Grineer Informer.https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=158000344

After you know that they're near, you want to look out for things like this:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=158000372 https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=158000417
Have a good long look at it because you might spot it while they're surrounded by Grineer. After you know that you see one, go ahead and shoot them out of the sky
Tips on Finding Them
So now you know the enemy and choice of weapon, you need to know where to find them.

Guidelines: First off, don't expect seeing these Informers if you're on Corpus or Infested, ONLY GRINEER. Also, the levels of the mission needs to be at least 15+ or in the range of that (lv.12-18 for example).

Planet of Choice: I would suggest doing Earth or Uranus because they contain those guidelines for best convenience (Feel free to add in the comments)

Missions: Anything other than Defense, Exterminate, or anything that requires keeping track of number count of enemies

What to do After you see one?: If you see one and completed the objective (and the Ship Integrity isn't compromised) awaiting extraction, go ahead and take a stroll around the map as they'll appear by chance and you'd contribute to the community wide mission of destroying these pesky drones.

So there you have it, go out there and help your fellow Tennos on protecting our future steal attacks from being compromised!

i just used max damage despair, worked like a charm. too bad there was no mid tier give aways, either you got 25 kills or 3000... nothing inbetween.

Embers Fireball (maxed out) was pretty good against those Drones, too. They exploded very nicely.

Well the event is over so, this guide is now pointless :P

You could basically destroy them with any given weapon, as long as it had been leveled enough(made strong enough with mods) and the cloaking animation took a while so even with a fast weapon with weak damage, such as viper, it was not a problem during the event. So making those "few weapons are good for it" was kinda pointless.

Sory about that, I nerver used the hek but I'll add that on.
