UAV / UCAV - Drohnen

[Quintus Fabius]

Um mal ein wenig Schleichwerbung für The Warzone zu streuen:

Harop is primarily a Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) weapon system, used to neuter an enemy’s radio frequency-emitting sensor capabilities. Using drones to help destroy and confuse an unfriendly air defense network is something Israel knows a lot about, as they've been using them to do just that since the Yom Kippur War in 1973.

Das folgende ist eigentlich das was mich zu dem Artikel getrieben hat, den das wusste ich noch nicht, dass die Israelis solche Munition schon seit so langer Zeit einsetzen, und dass die Grundlagen dafür aus dem Vietnam-Krieg stammten:

During the conflict, the Israeli Air Force used Firebee and Chukar drones furnished by the US to distract, confuse, and stimulate enemy radar—much like the US had in Vietnam. The tactics helped blunt Israeli combat aircraft losses, and clearly, the IAF knew they were onto something.

Following the Yom Kippur War, Israel began manufacturing their own simple unmanned aircraft, most of which had the same twin tail-boom configuration as many modern (and much larger) unmanned aircraft flying for the IAF today. But these were far simpler systems, with lower performance than the Chukars and Firebees used in combat in 1973. But what they lacked in performance they made up for in expendability and numbers.

Ich glaube dass vor allem der letztgenannte Aspekt in der Drohnen-Kriegsführung der wesentliche sein wird.

Was meint ihr dazu? Wird eher die Qualität oder die Quantität bei Drohnen auf Dauer den Ausschlag geben ?
