Why weren’t they blown out of the sky?
Small agile targets... maybe difficult to track with radar or target with missile defenses? This is a major reason why the navy is beginning to arm their ships with laser defenses.
Ditto, yes, why weren’t they destroyed as they approached?
A strong case for dereliction of duty at all command levels.
Looks like they are getting prepped for future endeavors. death by a thousand cuts if you will.
Well you have to be able to hit them first, ever try and shoot a bird out of the air with a rifle?
