Drone Warfare: Iran's Strategy Challenges U.S. Defense Systems

The ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran has surpassed two weeks, with discussions focusing on Iran's reported use of low-cost drones to effectively counter U.S. missile defenses, which cost millions of dollars, and destroy expensive ground-based radar systems. According to RTHK, Iran's deployment of drone swarms and low-cost weaponry exemplifies an 'asymmetric' strategy that has become a significant area of military research globally in recent years. Experts suggest that future warfare will increasingly prioritize computational power and network speed over traditional measures such as armor thickness.
