I foresaw this drone war era we are embarking now into in the early 2000s because of Technological advancements

 However, as of usual these technologies didn't really take off until the Russia Ukraine war. For example, Ukraine kills about 30,000 to 35,000 Russian Soldiers every month now using Drones.

And these mostly are smaller drones not the size of the Shahed but smaller mostly. this is actually how Ukraine is surviving against Russia right now by using these smaller drones to kill Russian Soldiers while they sleep and eat especially at night using night vision on the drones.

This also could move across the middle east now and even into Mainland Europe or even into the U.S.

This is a "Clear and Present Danger to the Survival of the Western World democracies!"
