the mysterious new "thing" seen first on 8. August: a CCA, a manned aircraft? Theories & speculation

You underestimate the power of a swarm of these drones, yes, a single drone might only have limited output capacity but what about a hundred or a thousand? I'm NOT proposing a simple decoy here but a mass-produced autonomous EW node. For a lot of functions EM radiation won't add like that. You...
