FPV Drones → Attack Helicopters

Advocates of rotor aircraft thought they would dominate the battlefield in the 60s, 70s, and 80s, to the detriment of traditional armor. It didn’t happen because helicopters are vulnerable to air defenses, including shoulder-fired missiles and anti-aircraft guns.

First Person View (FPV) kamikaze drones that cost <$1000 or slightly larger reusable drones are bringing this prediction back from the dead. They are still vulnerable to air defense, but it is irrelevant given their cost.

Implicitly he seems to consider helicopters only as a slower sort of ground attack planes. In which case, yes, cheap guided munitions do similar jobs, and often better.

For another perspective: in the Soviet doctrine helicopters from the very start were seen as lighter armor. Attack helicopters are tanks and transport helicopters are APC, but flying. Thus airborne assault troops, built as helicopter variant of motor-rifle troops, in Land Forces.

In Soviet eyes, the helicopter has nothing in common with conventional aircraft; it is regarded virtually as a tank. At first this may seem a strange idea, but it is undeniably well founded. No aircraft can seize enemy territory; this is done by tanks, artillery and infantry working together. Helicopters are therefore regarded as belonging to the Land Forces, as tanks which do not fear minefields, mountains or water obstacles, as tanks with high fire-power and great speed but which have only limited protection.
