Will be quite interesting what the end evolution of this will be.

I think high direct movability (like droping a few meters or shifting left/right) might be the next bigger thing for these. Easy enough to add, will make it even harder for air defence missiles catching them.

Besides, the air defence missiles are a lot more expensive than what a drone does.

And in Russia you saw another huge issue: How to shoot down a drone in your city without missing it and destroying something else?

How much payload do you need anyway? Like imagine oil refinery: how much kilo of c4 do you need? I don't think that much.

Or imagine a formation of drones with small payloads and starting to crash in one house wall like into putins palace or the white house.
