Love my 6K Toy. Small and agile, but with plenty of lifting power. I bought her at about 1000 hours used, but had them freshen up the paint before delivery. Also, never going back to electric. Dual fuel is awesome.

My forklift is a bit older

but for $600 sure saves the back and wonder how I ever got along without it

It looks all high tech but it's not really out of reach for almost any decently funded military.
I suspect other militaries will have this going in a big way before the USA even does.

Then eventually somebody gets the bright idea of why do we need meatbags controlling these things?
Let's go proper total war and just tell the drones to go autonomous blow up anything organic looking smaller than a cow or bigger than a cat and anything that looks like a vehicle or structure and anything that has an EM spectrum...

Then destruction and battles will happen on a scale so fast and widespread that humans won't be able to be the ones in control anymore.

all weapon systems have a counter. A cheap low tech solution to flying drones are physical nets set up above bases. Another solution is to close doors behind you. Higher tech options are close proximity EMPs. There’s also political counters: I think drone warfare will get sanctioned in our lifetime.
