Crikey, imagine something like that with AI targeting and an AT warhead.

Dropped in the hundreds and able to communicate amongst themselves. Couple dozen up high, looking for targets, and the rest going in for the kill.

Helicopters just became an endanged species too with those speeds and manoeuvrability.

And then you land a charging pad out in the middle of nowhere (or on top of a building) where they can recharge if they haven't found a target.

Excerpt:

Sweden’s armed forces have revealed a secret drone swarming program using software developed by Saab.

The system, developed over the past year, is designed for sub-25-kg (55.1 lb.) uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS). It allows individual soldiers to control as many as 100 drones at a time to gather intelligence, defense officials say.

Revealing the program during the People and Defense National Conference 2025 in Salen, Sweden, on Jan. 13-14, Defense Minister Pal Jonson told Swedish media that the system enables the drone swarms to “divide the tasks among themselves.”
