Ukraine is blowing up Russian tanks with 500 dollar drones with affixed ordnance that cost less than the drone in some cases. The American stuff they use is over $80,000 to $100,000 per shot...
I am all for sneaky cheap drone swarms destroying all things enemy as better them than us. I do hope a full blown no kidding shooting war can be avoided as China is presently having some serious nation wide problems...which usually means it could go either way as far as starting something....
there is a something to be said for the phrase, kept it simple stupid, and the word simplicity.
for the price of these new high iq drones, they could build a hundred average iq drones, or 100,000 stupid ones.
