Almost like it was a premonition, military analyst Max Boot warned in a Saturday Washington Post op-ed that the future of warfare wouldn't be fought with massive space-based missile shields, but with swarms of cheap, expendable drones. Less than 24 hours later, Ukraine delivered the proof.
I discussed the daring Ukrainian drone strike on the Russian airbases with my @postopinions.bsky.social colleagues Jim Geraghty and @dmarusic.bsky.social. bit.ly/4mKkD1Q

Max Boot reads and writes about the same things we do, but he is higher up in the Dante's Inferno of blogging than many of us.
Anyways, Ukraine is the expert on drone warfare and they are battle-tested. Operation Spiderweb expertly combined espionage with drone warfare.
China is doing quite well with drone technology, but they have yet to undergo the forge of war: youtu.be
Woooooooooow, liberals prove how short-sighted they are every single day. All because they let their masters groom them so well.
If we ignore missile defense, guess what enemies throw at us? It's as if liberals actually think someone will say, "Well, missiles are so 1990s so we won't use them even when our target is vulnerable to them...we will use drones because they are shiny and new."
Please, for the love of God, if you are one of these liberals do NOT ever get into cybersecurity. Defense-in-depth is a crucial platform that is vital to a network's security. Based on liberals though, we should get rid of antivirus filters in email systems and not spend money on it because cybercriminals are using text messages to attack people. The enemy is going to use whatever you are vulnerable to, and it's a numbers game. They don't just choose one attack vector and call it a day. They automate multiple attack vectors to have the best odds of causing damage.
Missile defense is as important today as it has ever been. Just because a new type of attack is out there doesn't mean we can ignore traditional vectors. This is security 101.
And, what's even more hilarious is trying to say that the money could be spent on better things, like defense against drones instead of missiles. Ok, well, taxpayer money can be spent on a WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLE lot of more important things than changing pronouns and renamed government institutions on official government documents but that doesn't stop liberals from trying to get the US to spend that money instead of on, I don't know, the trillions of debt we are in.
So either way you come at the argument, you are coming across as uneducated and lacking any common sense or logic skills.

What is your take on the New Jersey drones? Do you realize how long that was going on and how much footage was posted? For what purpose was that performed and by whom? To distract from what? While they were hovering near the nuclear plant, what was being done by our defenses? How did the government spin this?
"On December 17, 2024, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) presented an internal slideshow demonstrating that three alleged drone incidents"one during a medevac flight, one over the ocean, and another near a nuclear plant"were simply normal air traffic. Another report of a "drone" spraying mysterious mist could be explained by wing-tip condensation on a small airplane. The presentation included maps matching flight logs to specific sightings."

"This is fine.
Everything is fine."
