If you go back to the Wright Brothers, people who witnessed that first motorized flight thought it was impossible that something heavier than air to actually fly beyond a glider or a kite. They were wrong.
Then people thought using a plane as a weapon wasn't possible. They were wrong and proven so in World War I.
People thought bombers of the kind used in World War II couldn't be built that firebombed Dresden in Germany, Firbombed Japan and nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The same is true of drones. Drones do not need pilots to fly and hit targets. They can easily be fitted with nuclear weapons in ANY country. Iran already has cloned one of our most advanced drones. China and Russia have them too.
Imagine 1000 drones with hellfire missiles targeting all the heads of state in Europe or the U.S. or Canada sent at once.
How many of them would get through if they flew below the radar into literally any country?
What if they were all armed with nuclear warheads. Then drones become a terrorist weapon too within 25 to 50 years when they likely will be bought and sold around the world. What happens then?
Will civilization (or better said) ANY civilization remain with terrorists or drug dealers so armed?
All people need is the AI technology and this can be fitted onto almost any plane on earth as a remote controlled or fully AI plane. And this plane could be filled with anything including nuclear weapons and flown into ANY country below the radar at night.
This is why I write about drones.
However, also the flipside is true too. They could rescue people anywhere on earth and have medical droids like robot doctors on board and stabilize people that would have died all over the planet too. So, just like airplanes they are wonderful and terrible at the same time depending upon the motivation of those using them.
