The development of AI-powered "drone swarms" is reshaping the current understanding of warfare due to their low cost and the ability of hundreds of them to pose an existential threat to state armies. Advanced militaries are largely capable of countering individually operated drones. However, swarms of drones deployed for specific objectives during military battles or ongoing conflicts present a significant challenge to armies and the concept of military deterrence.

A Game Changer?

Drones have clearly established themselves in theaters of military operations around the world in recent years. The have become widespread to a large degree among states and even armed non-state actors, particularly due to the multiple military advantages these aircraft offer, both in intelligence gathering and reconnaissance and in offensive military operations. This has led many countries to strengthen interest in technologies related to countering this type of aircraft in order to achieve sufficient deterrence in any future wars. This could have a large impact in Middle East conflicts, especially in light of the use of drones by some militias and terrorist organizations.
