If you can take out the target using less resources, how is this bad? If a drone cost as much as 1/100 of an air defense missile, it means that you can have more drones than your enemy has missiles given the equal budget.




The f35, the growler, awacs, etc. Mean there will be nowhere close enough to launch low cost fpvs against the west in a war. Air dominance is what we do.

Look what happened to iran and all their air defences when f35s showed up lol.

So then youre left with shahed style drones that have range but are still fairly slow, loud, lack good guidance in jammed environments and will be shot down easily.

So you put better guidance on them so they dont need satellite connections and make them stealthy...oh wait now its just a regular ass cruise missile.

Electric power plants, arsenals and bridges cannot fly like F35 though.


No point in responding to you, you have no clue what a modern LSCO looks like. itd be nothing like Ukraine.
