“The “aircraft” is a glorified RC model.”

I think battlefield technology is moving towards smaller and more numerous swarm type weapons. When they can kill you, they aren’t toys.

One reason the Army has been trying to move away from the awesome Abrams tank is its greatest vulnerability, a logistics train full of unarmored fuel trucks that can be taken out by toys.

True, I agree. My statement was not addressing the utility or lethality of the system, but rather pointing out it's diminutive size. It wasn't as if a DC-9 went down.
