If I’ve learned anything from watching combat footage from Ukraine, it’s that shotguns are very effective at taking down drones. Who would’ve guessed the thing used to kill birds kills drones?

You either need more guns or more range, I guess. Swarming the other guy first is also an option, or sending drones after the drones, although you lose any cost advantage that way.

I know the is NCD, but it sounds like the professional military thinkers are expecting things to keep shifting towards emphasis on mobility and concealment, just because the post-identification kill chain is getting so foolproof.
