I don’t think anything will ever replace human-piloted aircraft for military use. Having said that..
I know these are performance drones, but if Ukraine taught us anything, “it’s become a fine line..”
So how the fuck do defend from that if you are a world power like the U.S. or China and so on.. ?
EMP thing? A 10 X 10 kilometer net? Go all in on EWS? But if your EWS isn’t effective.. then what?
The U.S. has a LPWS/CRAM but I feel like a ton of low flyers or an abundance of cheaper ones being sponge decoys for the real kill-chain.. man, it’s just mind-boggling. If this is what private business has right now for entertainment, imagine the number and capability of state-defense drones of nations in 20 years..
