We have drones with crazy range, speed and ability to stop threats. They are called UAVs and indeed cost millions each.

- imtringued 5y agoPeople don't seem to understand that we mount missiles on expensive jets because jets can travel thousands of miles and must not be shot down before they reach their destination. When people talk about how they can build lethal drones for $100 or something they assume that you can launch the weapon 3 miles away from the target and that the target has already been spotted. It's like saying that a million dollars can kill a million people because bullets cost less than $1. Making the bullet is the easy part. You still have to deliver it to the target.
- numpad0 5y agoI can’t stand those “$100 lethal drone” people dumping same story over, starting off by describing rocket artillery and derailing into strategic bombing all while maintaining it’s all enabled by battery prop toy drones. WTF they have their brains for!
