Israel pulled similar drone tactic as Ukraine

Being reported that Israel smuggled drones into Iran in vehicles and containers and launched them first to take out most of Iran’s air defenses. That explains why Israeli jets had free rein of the skies.

These drone tactics are what I find really interesting, it’s changing everything, they aren’t expensive or super advanced technology either. How far away are we from them dropping battery/solar powered drone “tanks”, like rovers, behind enemy lines to just search and destroy autonomously. Eventually we’ll see combat robots run by AI, movies coming to life.

It’s so easy to hurt or kill people emotionally or physically. I’m worried about the direction we are headed.

While the humans watch from afar, maybe even from space like Elypsium.
