A few hundred Small UAVs flying 100 feet off the ground each with 1/2 pound of RDX saturating an airfield with parked planes would turn those multi million dollar aircraft into junk inside of 15 minutes.

Thank you. The larger unmanned craft are the mother ships. No need to engage. That's what drones are for.

Drone swarms are going to kill everything.

You wouldn’t even need an explosive payload. Just fly them into the intakes or smash a few dozen into the control surfaces. For that matter just hover them 50 or 60 feet off the ground at the end of the runway and wait for the planes to run into them.

Or detonate them remotely over the runway. It’d take hours to clear the debris. FOD kills planes.

A really sneaky SOB would park them inside the intakes where they wouldn’t be spotted and just wait for the engines to suck them in.

Voila, an entire air wing grounded for a few thousand dollars.
