The people developing this tech could end up having to face off against it one day. This is where modern warfare is now. A swarm of these could probably clear out an entire trench of soldiers. Run Forest Run, doesn't really work against drones, they'll just hunt you down, Terminator style. Brazen Bull.

This. Ukraine war is a testing ground for these next gen war devices and very soon they will be flying and locating targets completely autonomously.. Combine that with genai models that anyone can train...

Scary, but not completely true; Thankfully, at the moment, they can only fly for about half an hour. And if you're going to have the thing carry weapons too, then it's going to be even heavier.

One day though, it'll be true. And sunlight will be blocked by swarms of them. And obviously, the AI will win.

Put up a net.

Actually drone interception is also a research topic.

This shit should be banned from the battle field. I've only seen one guy surviving a drone attack by throwing a stick at it. AI already mockingly reduced us to being helpless apes throwing sticks at it. Foreshadowing.

On the contrary. It should dominate battlefields. To the point of making humans there completely obsolete. Any human loses in war should be treated the same way as civilian loses. It's dumb that we create special class of people that we are fine they are getting killed.
