How To Take Down A Military Drone Without Firing A Shot
There is a fundamental law of warfare that no member of any conventional military wants to admit to. For every million dollar weapon, somewhere out there, perhaps waiting to be discovered, is a $10 countermeasure. The more expensive and sophisticated the device, the more vulnerable it is to dirt cheap exploits. But they don’t want to think about that. The military-industrial-complex thinks in terms of money. If there’s a threat, they throw money at it until it goes away, which usually winds up creating boondoggles that get exploited in the most embarrassing ways.
There are numerous examples of this happening throughout history. My personal favorite, is the molotov cocktail. When Russia invaded Finland in 1939, they poured over the border with thousands of tanks. The Finns soon discovered that if they lobbed molotov cocktails into the ventilation system of a tank, it would quickly ignite the fuel and ammunition supply, and utterly destroy the tank and its crew.
