Until someone comes up with a very compelling anti-drone countermeasure, drones are basically the ideal weapon for a battlefield. Cheap, mobile, can loiter, good recon, etc.
I’ve wondered about just SAMs and MANPADs as an alternative to any new fighter jet. We can’t really trust the F-35 and the alternatives (the Gripen E) might not be survivable, depending on a bunch of data I don’t have.
Sure, they can’t be used offensively, but that’s not the main thing I worry about in the near future.
The future is in drones. If Canada should sink funding into anything, it should be that.

ECM says what?
Fibre optic drone says hi.
