> One guy in a fighter jet is probably 1000000x more effective than a guy in a trench

A guy in a trench with a $25,000 electro-optical/thermal MANPAD can now snipe a $100+ million dollar 5th gen stealth fighter flying low and fast.

To decapitate a government you'd just need a roughly $500 drone you can make at home and some homemade explosives. Bonus points if you harden it from electronic attack and use INS and optical terrain recognition for navigation and image analysis for final targeting.

Basically a 13 year old with an afternoon and some time in the library.

It's a weird time.
