I think you greatly over estimate the number of competent bomb makers considering just how effective taking them out has been.
Much of the military equipment in circulation is decades old, you have RPGs from the 70’s being in use.
The logistics for drones isn’t there yet, the human capital isn’t there yet either I would give it 5-10 more years till these drones will be prevalent in nearly every conflict.
- CraigJPerry 6y agocar bombs are an unfortunately regular thing in this world (e.g. Azaz last month). Along with suicide vest wearers (Afghanistan most recently) and of course the IEDs designed to avoid detection and jamming in Iraq. In each of these theatres we have documented heavy use of drones for recon. The problem is nothing to do with logistics or skillset. Hobby grade drones (even the heavy lift types which can manage 20kg payload) are not viable weapons. Their payload is too small, their accuracy too imprecise in practice and the economics of a stolen car’s payload being 1000x that of a medium-large hobby drone renders these a plot line in a movie rather than a real thing. Age of military equipment has nothing to do with anything.
