That’s fair. I think they have access to both. Look at what the little militias aka the police are using on us.
Anybody with a soldering gun, a laptop and the right know-how can whip up a drone. You can’t just slap together missiles.
EDIT: they need microprocessors too
Its enough to make one want to start hording microwaves.
What’s the microwave for? I’m imagining fighting toys in Small Soldiers.
A magnetron, some sheet metal and an idiot dumb enough to turn on something I wire together, and bam, you've got a tool for knocking drones out of the air: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6XdcWToy2c
Haha I would probably kill myself trying to do that
