Hmmm... Imagine: Payload 250,000 kg. Short range smart human heat seeking bomb drone 1kg. Yer got 5,000 troops on the battle field and an An-225 drone drop ship turns up nearby. What's that, 25 drones per soldier...


Edit: ah forgot, obviously the launch racks would eat into payload.

I wonder how developments are going ?
