Nobody is firing an anti-tank KE round out of a drone. If an AC-130 is shooting at you well then you have other problems. For someone who is particularly concerned about this threat model it wouldn't be hard to stick a concealed plate in the roof. Probably won't stop the missile but will probably prevent the "blades" from coming through or at least prevent them from coming through expanded.
- seriesf 7y agoI was mostly lampooning the threat model implied by base-model Hyundai with 4-inch solid steel roof, but why can't an MQ-9 fire a KE weapon? Aren't they light and compact compared to the 500-pound munitions the MQ-9 is capable of delivering? People think "drone" and don't realize the MQ-9 is bigger than the A-10.

It all depends how it was designed, for all we know it was designed to just penetrate a normal car roof. It might be a cat and mouse game for a while, and the cost of adding some sort of armor is virtually zero for them. Who knows, it might work. Pretty sure they can also make a missile that fires 20 30mm rounds, 10 yards or whatever distance is needed to pepper the entire car, before crashing in the car.
