It gets even better. Technology for drones. Becomes modular more and more. Anybody, any state or organisaiton, can assemble them. The construction does not allow to identify the "sender". Such drones cna be used by EVERYBODY. EVERYWHERE. Against EVERYBODY. AT ANY TIME. And nobody will and cna be hekd acocutbale for any such attack.

The whole concept of "war" is in a revolutionary revision currently.

And then the next thing. Autonomous swarm drones. AI.

Interested customers? States. Criminal organisations. Organised crime. Terrorists. Religious nutheads. Professional assassins. Angry citizens. Ordinary people wanting to try something a lil' different for a change.

It becomes modular, and by that: anonymous. Mass-produced. Cheap. Small. Affordable. Easy to operate. Self-explanatory, almost.

Wars do not become less but more likely. Because the starters of wars will not be caught.

Legal rules and treaties and international conventions do nothign to prevent this. Its like the hope to prevent crime by declaring crime illegal. Absurd.


The biggest issue nin all this is that the modular natur eof near-future systems will allow total anonymity. That reduces the inhibition to use such weapons by absolutely frightening degrees.
