Update: Here is some combat footage of small kamikaze drones in action in Ukraine. I haven’t investigated but it seems to be from a single engagement. Looks like a devastatingly effective weapon to me, considering that they aren’t even using AI to steer the drones, they only have a few of them, they are probably hastily designed and built drones just now entering production.
Also: This leaked memo (1, 2) from a four-star US general directs the troops to prepare for war with China in 2025 and, among other things, by March 2023 to have a plan for how to dispense 100 “off-the-shelf size and type” drones from a KC-135.
