The 'Drone Trap': How Unmanned Systems Are Creating a New Stalemate in Modern Warfare

The analysis argues that expensive Western military hardware, such as tanks and manned aircraft, is highly vulnerable to cheap and numerous unmanned systems. Consequently, strategists must now focus on developing effective countermeasures and a balanced force that integrates both manned and unmanned platforms to avoid this stalemate.
