War becoming cheaper to wage as these machines become obsolete is good news for the Proletariat.

Conversely - those FPVs and quads with thermals that drop grenades are a pretty bad news for the proletariat

Soon it'll be drone vs drone, with the operators working at home chasing each other with FPV goggles.

You mean like a false target? Pretty sure ICBMs at least have those already, specifically to ensure payload is not intercepted
