As someone from Russia - this was super cool 10 years ago, now this is just the obvious making its way to battlefields, and Middle-Eastern ones long before Ukraine.

Also it’s good to be far enough from the events to talk about “scary things” only in the ethical context, but I’m going to disappoint you - warfare revolutions usually affect warfare geography too. You may see killer drones near you home in 20 years or so.

Operated by your friendly local police force.

Or your friendly local militia movement. Or your friendly local “Christian state of Americas and the Pacific”. ISIS has surely made a cultural imprint. The question is what will they use instead of nasheeds.

Following Moore’s Law, might end up being sooner than that

It’s about adoption of available tools, not Moore’s Law (which isn’t a law anyway and there are physical limitations which have already kinda cancelled it). There are not technical limitations to have enormous functional combat drone fleets today. Humans are lagging behind, because humans need to learn how to conduct warfare with that.
