RPGs have existed for along time. How does using a drone to deliver the grenade instead of a rocket really change the scenario?

- hutzlibu 4y agoWould you rather take on a tank with an RPG in hand, or be safe in a bunker and remote control your attack? If you made a misstake in the first scenario, there is no second try. But if you have a second drone, there is. (ukraine has more men than drones, though)
- stonemetal12 4y agoDrones are slow and not heavily armored. It seems like a shot gun would be good enough to take them down before they got close enough to hurt your tank. While they are doing a good job now it wouldn't surprise me if anti drone counter measures are easy\quick to develop.
- tonyhb 4y agoThe "shock" part of "shock effect" is kind of diminished if you can hide miles away from tanks, completely safe, and neuter them.
