Q. Soooooooooooo, how do you win a war in the Drone Era???

Going back to Military History from Dr. Baumgartner and 'the' esteemed Dr. Mackie @VeeTee... Peeps have rallied to the: 'high ground' nearly since cain V. Able went one -and only one- round: "ding". Attack downhill if you will... or, make the other guy have to mule the slope or ascent of attacking your altitude. "It is known..." Then the Brothers Wright took all of that to new, heights... WWI initialized this entry-level era... WW2 went levels up, plural... Understood... I get that... ...though these little pesky buggers are out-scaled... smaller, cheaper, and numbers -not so much: size- seems to be the 2o26 A.D. name of the game, now... K... though how exactly do you win in the Drone Era❔ Just pure quantity? Be the most plural as Droning on goes? How do you defend or achieve Air Zone of Control vs. this? You still need that to do any op's underneath, right? The game has changed; n'est-ce pas? DISCUSS >>> cuss πŸ˜•, b.street p.s. no stupid S in this thread-- do not open the ThreadCon1 nuclear door here...

Possibly by 1) deny them which way N is, 2) fry circuitry, 3) other.

How do you define winning? What is the objective?

Drones are indeed a tool and how quickly can one adapt those tools to METT
