    Does noise really matter that much on a modern battlefield with one surveillance drone every 200 meters?

      Most NATO countries are assuming air dominance, which would make drones less survivable. They really thrive in a contested environment.

        I don’t know that NATO’s assumption of air dominance is actually applicable. You’re not putting a F-35 on anti-drone swarm duties.

        If anything you’d want to focus on anti-air.
