On the defensive side, the biggest antennae will be repurposed to detect unauthorized drones as small as a grain of rice, and rapid-response drone teams will lurk in algorithmically optimal locations in depth around the all-knowing security blanket.

There won’t be any moderation on aimbotting or wallbanging between sovereign states.

Using present terminology, and given my persistent enjoyment of competitive Korean Starcraft: Having a random A ranker on the battlefield just isn’t going to cut it once the Lee Young Ho’s and Kim Jung Woo’s of the drone piloting world begin to appear. I imagine that the level of dominance they will exhibit will be similar to that of Manfred von Richthofen, but without the nasty habit of dying because they’re in the heat of battle themselves.

Whole kill teams deployed to eliminate particular drone pilots in remote/protected areas behind the frontlines…the possibilities boggle the mind.

Not good.
