The US military may be in deep shit if a new drone war starts. Inertia, bureaucracy, and fear of making the wrong choice are limiting the American military’s adaption, and this could lead to many many more dead Americans if the US gets into a modern drone war.

What’s better, a cheaper drone that is less stealthy and therefore will have a higher attrition rate, or a stealthy drone that is more expensive but will be shot down at a lower rate?

The US is training in techniques and developing weapons to defend military men and women against drones. Drones have likely greatly weakened the ability of the US to exercise power on the ground.

Trump wants to force a currently constructed carrier that plans on using an electromagnetic launch system back on the old steam system. The new system should have higher up-times, launch planes faster, have the ability to launch heavier planes, have the ability to launch lighter planes, and have simpler support systems. Trump’s decision appears to make no sense on the surface, but, the Navy’s test of the new system has not been released to the public, and while the Navy said good things about the test, they could be misleading or lying.

Drones are changing warfare, but they are not the super weapon that they sometimes seem to be. They work best in combination with a variety of weapons. It usually takes many drones to take out a tank.
In many situations, mortars are more effective than FPV drones.
FPV drones can’t fly far, can’t see well at night, don’t work well when it’s cloudy, are vulnerable to jamming, and have light payloads. Mortars are better in these respects. You can make a drone that doesn’t have these disadvantages, but at that point, you have an attritable weapon that is much more expensive than a mortar shell.
