This is cool, but also a warning to the US Military.

Drones are cheap and easy to deploy. Our adversaries in future conflicts will have them, and many of the weapons systems we have relied on are vulnerable to them.

Some of the drones look like they are carrying Claymores.
One video shows a drone placing a package on a wall. Surveillance device? Shaped charge?

We have been coasting for decades with contests against third-world opponents who could not match our technology. That is clearly ending with deployment of drone combat swarms. Just about everybody can afford them now.

This is as big a change as the historical deployment of firearms in war and in particular, the use of automatic repeated fire in war(machine guns).

The Generals in World War 1 were using tactics developed in pre-firearms eras. They sent lines of men abreast to clash with the men in enemy lines. And those troops were slaughtered by automatic weapons.

The recent war between Azerbaijan and Armenia was decided by Turkish-supplied drone forces. And the Armenians, who did not have them, were slaughtered.

Our Generals had better be learning from this.

They won't be when we do it.
