A HEAVENLY INVESTMENT is already in the works! Do you remember our collection of 85 million UAH, which we closed last week? So, Wild Hornets reported on the first deliveries of anti-aircraft FPV and Shahed interceptors💥

Your drones will be flying to shoot down enemy drones very soon😈

Help the army!

It has long been thought that cheap drones are too easy to counter long term and so they wouldn’t last long as major battlefield forces

I haven't heard this said, and from the Russian invasion and massive subsequent losses to drones, I am curious what the "easy to counter" long term solution is here. If anything I see them getting even harder to counter.

Yeah, citation needed indeed.

2030: anti drone warfare has had a breakthrough, giant wind machines now line the front lines which create 120mph winds around the front lines defending them from small drones. Mini portable nuclear reactors are used to power these defenses.

That could be defeated even today. First, you could just fly OVER the wind machine, but you wouldn't even have to do that. Last year we had drones that could fly at nearly 300MPH. So this 2024 drone flying directly into the wind machine would head inward at 180MPH, plenty fast to disable wind machines.
