The line between drone and loiter missile is fuzzy. Given the focus the USA puts on its air forces (high capital investment, low manpower requirement), I'm on the side of the missiles

I think the performance of the Resistance over the last year has proven, you don't need a Navy or an Air Force, you just need enough missiles.

In the last year we've had our first ballistic missile attack on a ship at sea, loitering antiair munitions taking out drones, loitering air to ground drones making mass mechanized formations a relic of the past, on every side of every conflict.

I struggle for the right word, but it's almost a "democratization" of military power. Anti-second amendment people are right that an AR-15 is not going to stop a tank. But a cheap commercial drone rigged with explosives and a front-facing camera, will.
