A swarm of small drones can mimic the saturation tactics of a locust plague
Modern aerial swarms utilize low-observable aerodynamics and sheer numerical volume to overwhelm sophisticated defense systems, mirroring the biological saturation strategies used by locust plagues to ensure survival through mass.
Small unmanned aerial vehicles with three-meter wingspans leverage physics to become nearly invisible, sporting radar cross-sections of just 0.01 square meters. This is roughly 100 times smaller than a traditional manned jet, allowing them to slip through modern detection nets. By deploying hundreds of these units simultaneously, a swarm creates a probability saturation. Even if a defense system boasts a 90 percent interception rate, the remaining volume ensures significant impact.
