DeceptichumI wonder if Taiwan is looking into these boat-drones considering their successes. Could be extremely useful in keeping any Chinese ships from ever landing.
SkuaEvery single military in the world will be watching the usage of all sorts of drones in this conflict. Even if you're America or China you need to learn how to defeat them cost-effectively
Drones are becoming a huge game changer.
Even simple unarmed $300 drones with an IR camera are proving to be extremely effective. The level of live battlefield information and situational awareness they are bringing to commanders on the ground is at least equivalent to what a platoon of recon troops can offer.
Next up are the drones capable of carrying light loads like air dropped grenades or explosives than can take our expensive vehicles like aircraft. The return on investment for these systems are insane.

The US Army literally just cancelled its FARA Helicopter program because of drones.
After $2.4 Billion Spent, the U.S. Army Kills the FARA Helicopter
The U.S. Army will need to invest heavily in fielding a variety of sensor-packed UAVs to support ongoing air operations in the decades to come, lest it find itself relying heavily on 20th-century platforms in a 21st-century fight.
The US does not like attack helis or something. The Comanche was a cool looking heli that was cancelled back in the day.
To this day we’re still operating Apaches, a design first built in 1975.
But attack helis just seem so fragile. They’re relatively easy targets and don’t add all that much extra. Transport heli’s are way more useful. Hell, even in civilization games heli’s are weak.
Well, 8 movement points ignoring terrain allow for a lot of pillaging…
