Not exactly sure why you quoted my post about drones? is it because stingers, javelins..etc are becoming obsolete because of drone technology?
I didn't know it's been 18 years but military magazine wrote an article saying just that about 5-6 years ago. Modern warfare is becoming soldier-less rapidly.
