> Drones have changed warfare forever

We’re in a strategic imbalance. Cold War air defences were trained on high-value targets, like strategic bombers and spy planes. So currently our air defences are overspecced for something like this.

Nothing about drones makes them inherently undetectable. You just need a different model. I suspect those should be commonplace within 20 years, potentially a decade.

I could see ownership being restricted in wartime. More likely is eager air defences shredding birds on perimeters.
