Mobility can complicate that picture. If I have a million attack drones, and you have a million defense drones, there's still the question of where you put your defenses. If you have a hundred cities to defend, you might realistically need a hundred million drones.
- ectospheno 7y agoI imagine they will spot whatever you are using to transport your million drones...
- D-Coder 7y agoTransport? You can't just fly them there?
- sq_ 7y agoI mean, it seems like any drone cheap enough to be expendable by the millions would probably be lacking enough in range as to need a carrier/mothership of some sort.
