The Armenia vs Azerbajan war of ~October 2020 is super informative towards the future of war. Though the poster is a noob account, their assessment is good for a brief HN comment. If you are at all interested in how conflicts are going to proceed in the early 21st century, reading up on this war is essential: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Nagorno-Karabakh_conflict One thing that was mentioned is suicide drones. The umbrella term is 'loitering munitions', as they describe a wider range of platforms with similar intents. You can read more about them here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loitering_munition For reference: The US has the Switchblase 600, a man-portable anti-armor drone/missile with a ~50mi range and ~40min of loiter time total, with a 'dash' speed of 115mph. It's controlled via touchscreen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AeroVironment_Switchblade |
