Ask HN: When to Expect a Swarm of Drones?
Any insights on this direction?

Swarms sound cool...but require more units, each one of higher cost, all matched to some particular Swarm Spec., and each with a stronger signature (to coordinate behavior) for enemy EW equipment to pick up.
Kinda similar for AI. Do you call low-end visual recognition "AI"? What's it cost (in R&D, lead time, tooling, unit cost, weight, power drain, training, ...), how accurate is it, and how easy is it for the enemy to update their camouflage & counter-measures to effectively defeat it?
The hype is all about fundraising; even if its second order. The people spewing such nonsense may just be "building reputation" at this point in preparation for financial scams they intend to perpetrate later.
