Well, that was a chilling and terrifying look into the future.
But, to be honest, I’m not really worried. It doesn’t really change the tactical situation of today. It just makes the attack vector cheaper.
The USA already uses drones that loiter from 30 miles away, and has a high resolution camera that can see you. Then you’re targeted and a Hellfire missile is locked on, and shot at the target.
Same effect. The target is killed.
However, this technology increases the critical retaliation magnitude.
If the attacker chooses to assassinate the political leadership of the enemy country by suicide drone, then the victim country can retaliate with an all out nuclear assault.
So, we are now basically at the same situation we were at before. MAD principles still apply. Nothing has changed.
