EMP Shielding More Cost-Effective Than Drone Deployment
By
–
It’s cheaper to shield drone electronics than to deploy these things. EMP defenses aren’t really feasible.

Drones Shift Military Balance Toward Offensive Capabilities
By
–
Drones tip the balance of power towards offense, much like nuclear did. It may help to think of them as “autonomous bullets.”
