You checked out drone warfare? It’s all the rage in every conflict at the moment. The hype around drones is not fake, and I’d compare it more to autonomous cars because regulation is the only reason you don’t see a million private drones flying around.
- dazed_confused 1y agoYes, to an extent, but I would say that is an extension of artillery and long-range fire capabilities.

- regmaticalistic 1y ago"Drone warfare" isn't really a thing. Drones in the battlefield remain something that: a) Hegemon uses to avoid needing to deploy boots to the ground b) Resource strapped combatants use as a supplement of guerrilla tactics c) Specops have used to great publicity effect in a context of very heavy use of traditional intelligence assets The narrative that "this changes everything" is very much in line with how we see the story around AI developing as well. Highly publicized demos that hide the enormous efforts in traditional technologies and good old human labor surrounding them.
