Bryan ,you forgot to mention that the Kalashnikov company ( the same one that produces the Lancet drone) already has a drone that operates in swarms and is driven by AI , in witch the drones comunicates with each other and each one chooses their target evaluating their importance and their level of danger in the battlefield .
