The combination of technological/logistical incompetence, economic ignorance, and military-historical illiteracy as Stephen Biddle dropped in that article makes me despair about the competence of the US national security experts versus drone airpower.

NASA FIRMS data shows anything up to 22,080 tons of Russian munitions were just lost to a cheap OWA-drone swarm that had 50(+) distinct desired mean points of impact (DMPI).

This deep strategic strike by a cheap drone swarm just cut off Russian Task Group North from up to 18 days of munitions, deeply affecting the Kursk land campaign
