I saw a gh for a $100 stringer missile last week. I often wonder if I will miss the stable tyranny of American capitalism if we descend back into warring nation states defended by cheap autonomous munitions.

That thing was a toy, not even remotely viable or even a meaningful step towards viability.

It was discussed here.

		>or even a meaningful step towards viability. Says the person that gets rocketed in the next civil war. The more unstable our country becomes the more meaningful weapons like this will develop. Hell, if I were a nation that controlled my internet and other information, I'd start injecting effective versions into the internet of 'free' countries so they could take themselves out.

		Compared to an actual stinger missile and its usual application, yes. Deployed against soft targets like trucks, cars, or homes, it has the potential to be very effective.

		Small ~$1000 drones have been proven to be very effective weapons in Ukraine though.

Service for citizenship, stationed along the border walls and manning really big fucking guns seems to be the place my brain always goes to in these sorts of conversations.
