surprised they have so far been able to go this way, grim indicator for strength of afu defenses if they can't stop this push.   era is probably still worth it for crew and ammo protection purposes but yeah tank design will need major revisions to account for all-angle attacks. > "fighter" drone to counter not sure this can work, the obvious solution is to load the attack drone with a short range rpg that it can drop and guide to target. needs to be a fast killing system.   for want of a sewer.   can't find almas-1 production cost estimates but the spike is $140k and even at 1/10 of that a similarly ranged fiber fpv is cheaper.
