Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
Modern aircraft fly too fast and too high for TV guidance to be practical for the most part (also the sky is big so target acquisition is more important in the first place), and if you were to make a really fast drone that had radar or infrared guidance, you just have a regular anti air missile. The reason drones work so well for ground forces is their ability to do recon and loiter over a target area until a target presents itself. A loitering anti-air munition could certainly be possible, and may already exist, but it would have limitations to its range, size, or manoeuvrability since a large amount of its weight would need to be fuel, which ends up leading to the conclusion that you might as well just use regular fighter aircraft, and in some cases putting air to air missiles on larger drones (e.g. Iran's Karrar drone, which mainly carries bombs or anti ship missiles, can be adapted to launch anti air missiles as well).
