AI controlled Drone clouds - A New weapon?

[Deleted]

China’s breathtaking drone show featuring over 8,000 drones isn’t just a record-breaking light display—it also raises a serious question: could this technology become a future weapon?

Swarm drones aren’t only for entertainment. This level of coordination, precision, and scale has clear military implications—from psychological operations to overwhelming air defences with sheer numbers.

So what are we really witnessing here—spectacular art, or the early glimpse of a new era of warfare?

It's already here.

I have a Chinese drone and the tech behind it is absolutely amazing. It has an omni-directional anti-collision system which makes it nearly impossible to crash. I can fly in the woods around my house without hitting anything, it just stops or goes around things.

I can lock it on a subject and it will follow it on it's own while avoiding any obstacles. I tried that out Saturday when I was cutting the grass.

I can't remember the details, but the idea of a "drone swarm" was used on one of the so-called "police procedurals" - either the CBS "FBI" or "NCIS" series. You have to think it makes sense, though. Instead of flying a 1-billion dollar stealth jet, fly 100,000 $10K drones that are so small that on radar they barely show up. And when they do, they look like a flock of fat birds. AND nobody dies if one gets shot down. Look at the Ukraine method of taking out tanks... Fly a drone over a tank, looking for one with an open top-hatch. Drop a grenade. Leave behind a smoking wreck.

Old school Pagers, it appears, are also an effective weapon.
