The AK-47 is at least as famous, if not more so, for its role fueling insurgencies and violent nonstate actors across the world. Which leads to the central question at the heart of a new report on the global military drone industry: Who will develop the AK-47 version of the drone?
I think that conventional air defense missiles and guns for our troops, relying on ground-based air defenses up the table of organization and on aircraft flying high in the sky won't protect the infantry at the pointy end of the stick from such a threat.
American infantry isn't used to facing enemy air attack. That will change in that gap in our defenses.
UPDATE: Countermeasures are hard.
