The kinds of drones that hobbyists typically use can evade Russian air defense systems and are so cheap that Ukraine is using them all over
it’s clear that the future 3 branches of military will have to designate a drone division which might eventually morph to t2 division.
you think nuke is apocalyptic? wait till you live the skynet future. the autonomous drone future is really a virtual nano nuke.
here’s why it’s a nano nuke. nuke is about range of destruction to kill as many living beings as the blast can reach and destroy any physical structure within a very large radius.
and nuke is triggered by spontaneous chain reactions. there’s no escape in the blast radius other than a very deep bomb shelter.
autonomous drone like what we imagined in terminator movie or black mirror will just have chain reaction of instantaneous relay of geo location, target acquisitions, and surgical nano strikes but no true range limit. every elimination leads to next target like spawn kill.
