Yeah we will see drone motherships in the future with hundreds or thousands of drones overwhelming everything. Pretty much like in movies when aliens attack the earth just as smaller versions

Instead of aircraft carriers (or rather, alongside aircraft carriers) we'll probably have drone carriers with massive drones onboard, alongside naval drones that can be launched out, the only thing we're missing is drones capable of taking out submarines but that feels like a matter of when it happens, I also think Taiwan should purchase some Ukraine naval drones.

Already happening, AI piloted submarines are already here.



You could say submarines always had drones, torpedos are basically underwater drones ;)

Yeah I don't know what Trump is doing with his golden dome. Future wars will be AI guided drone wars with flocking algorithms to avoid defenses. Missiles are expensive and can be seen coming from far away. Drones that hug the terrain are far more difficult to intercept and easily smuggled close in trucks, trains, ships.

Ukraine-Russia war is showing how effective drones are, changing warfare for the future.

Submarines surfacing and launching tons of drones right off the coast is a possibility as well, so yeah better get those underwater defenses up.
