    You ever seen a commercial drone?

    They’ll work wonderfully at crashing into a window and falling onto the cement.

    Plus you’d need to be within a very close radius to control it.

      Exactly, that’s the point. They crash into things and explode.

      If you have 750,000 drones, they don’t all need to be that accurate. Some are distractions, others carry explosive payloads. I have built drones. They can be done relatively cheaply. Bigger drones that carry more weight will cost more, sure. However on a military budget it is all just peanuts. You can get more range out of a drone than most people realize if you have the right antennas for it.

      You could also have mothership drones that guide short range drones.

        They won’t cause any damage. They’re just a bunch of thin pieces of plastic and a camera.

          They are explosive, all they need to do is find a target. Wars tend to fail when the leadership has all been assassinated.
