re: #74 Mich-again
Very quietly the era of drone warfare has begun. I think that has major implications for long term strategy for the military. Will we really need a standing army of hundreds of thousands of soldiers stationed all around the world to fight ground wars at the drop of a hat? Drone warfare could change everything.
Drones have serious limits, and their need for constant communications leaves them vulnerable to jamming, Anti-Radiation Missiles (ARMs) and Anti-Satellite (ASAT) weapons.
