> where ranges are orders of magnitude longer and a little battery powered drone can't get anywhere. Why would that be? For one, they could be launched in swarms from shipping containers aboard many dispersed vessels. If those vessels would be too suspicious and/or vulnerable at the time, they could still be launched from submarines, maybe themselves robotic, cheaper to manufacture. Or from something like a cruise missile, like a swarm of dandelions, from a swarm of cruise missiles, or whatever larger (disposable) drone-launching platform may emerge.
