They are cheap to produce, small, so their production could‘nt be eliminated from the air. This gives the defenders of land huge advantage. Communication through glass fiber eliminates electronic warfare and jamming influence on drones.
A primary benefit of small, low-cost drones is their ability to shift the offense-defense balance by creating a massive cost and production asymmetry that favors defenders.
Key Strategic Advantages:
Cost Asymmetry: Small drones are significantly cheaper than the targets they destroy (such as tanks) and the missiles used to shoot them down. This forces attackers to expend expensive, limited interceptor stockpiles on "attritable" targets.
Resilient Production: Because they are small and can be manufactured in decentralized, non-traditional facilities, their production is difficult to eliminate through conventional air or missile strikes.
Saturation Tactics: Defenders can deploy these units in massive numbers to overwhelm an attacker’s air defenses, making it nearly impossible to engage every incoming threat within a limited time window.
Enhanced Transparency: FPV and ISR drones provide real-time battlefield intelligence, making large, visible maneuvers (like tank columns) highly vulnerable and difficult for an attacker to execute.
Loitering Capability: Tactical winged drones can loiter deep behind enemy lines to strike high-value targets like artillery, further disrupting an offensive.
