As many of you know I&#8217;ve been writing fiction under the Reepaman name for several years now. I regularly comment on the use of both drone swarms and AI by criminals in unconventional ways. Thus, the use of drones in the real world for war-fighting in this manner is not a surprise. Of course, the scale that comes with the resources available for military use is breath-taking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/reepaman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Drone-Swarms-and-Subterfuge-Image-1-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Drone Swarms and Subterfuge Port and Shipping container\" class=\"wp-image-228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reepaman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Drone-Swarms-and-Subterfuge-Image-1-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/reepaman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Drone-Swarms-and-Subterfuge-Image-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/reepaman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Drone-Swarms-and-Subterfuge-Image-1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/reepaman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Drone-Swarms-and-Subterfuge-Image-1.png 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Drone Swarms and Subterfuge &#8211; Created using ChatGPT<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider, the packaging of attack drones as payloads from a mother ship aircraft. \u2013 That\u2019s already in use in the Russia Ukraine war.&nbsp; Or how about drone swarms launched from military ships? Well, China is ahead there already with tailor made \u2018drone carriers\u2019 already afloat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take both those concepts a step further and add some subterfuge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drone Swarms and Subterfuge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A roll on roll off car ferry departs the Far East but its cargo isn\u2019t cars for the hungry western market. Inside, tens of thousands of small quadcopters all primed, charged and on quick release cables are ready to go. The ship, on its normal delivery route churns its way along the English Channel towards Rotterdam. But then it opens some hatches and starts vomiting swarms of tiny flying explosives. They are preprogrammed to hit oil and gas hubs, storage tanks, power transformers, and key data nodes. Perhaps its one of many first moves on the chessboard of World War 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/reepaman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Drone-Swarms-and-Subterfuge-Image-2-1024x683.png\" alt=\"Drone Swarms and Subterfuge - Roll on Roll Off Ferry Drone Launch\" class=\"wp-image-229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reepaman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Drone-Swarms-and-Subterfuge-Image-2-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/reepaman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Drone-Swarms-and-Subterfuge-Image-2-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/reepaman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Drone-Swarms-and-Subterfuge-Image-2-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/reepaman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Drone-Swarms-and-Subterfuge-Image-2.png 1488w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Drone Swarms and Subterfuge &#8211; Created by ChatGPT<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You might wonder about drone countermeasures? RF jammers, GPS spoofing, and kinetic solutions? They don\u2019t exist at the scale needed for localised defence over wide areas. While the UK\u2019s strategic defence review is published and amended (again), perhaps we could persuade the British gentry to stand on the white cliffs of Dover with their shotguns?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fibre Optics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Or perhaps some of the unmanned arial vehicles that are launched are larger and have longer range? They use fibre-optic cables that spool out of the back end and are not easily disrupted. However they are too small to be targeted and destroyed by the majority of the air-defence systems that exist. And there are not very many of those that do have the capability. In Ukraine there are reports of UAV\u2019s that have a forty-one kilometre fibre optic cable range.&nbsp; That\u2019s a staggering distance. To put that into context, you could sail between Portsmouth and Cherbourg and destroy the majority of the British and French Navies in one pass. No jammers would help you there. Even if a couple of ships were alert with their point defence systems online, the majority would get through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drone Motherships<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>But let\u2019s pan out a little, and go back to the concept of a flying mothership. You don\u2019t need a fancy specialist aircraft there. A Globe-master obviously has a ramp that can be lowered in flight, but then so do lots of civilian aircraft.&nbsp; Consider; hundreds of unmanned land platforms dropping by parachute and deploying from the back of a civilian registered aircraft. Perhaps it\u2019s something like those very impressive robo-dogs by Boston Dynamics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again in Ukraine we are seeing platforms with heavy calibre weapons mounted on them. Can you imagine the carnage if several hundred of them landed and started walking their way through the main streets of our cities? &nbsp;Of course, populations would work it out eventually and ram them with cars or trucks, or the limited number of armed police would respond. The point is that the subterfuge of the delivery method means the impact would be horrific before any effective response even started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/reepaman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Drone-Swarms-and-Subterfuge-Image-3-1024x683.png\" alt=\"Drone Swarms and Subterfuge - C17 Drone Launch\" class=\"wp-image-230\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reepaman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Drone-Swarms-and-Subterfuge-Image-3-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/reepaman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Drone-Swarms-and-Subterfuge-Image-3-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/reepaman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Drone-Swarms-and-Subterfuge-Image-3-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/reepaman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Drone-Swarms-and-Subterfuge-Image-3.png 1488w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Drone Swarms and Subterfuge &#8211; &#8211; C17 drone Launch &#8211; Created by Chat GPT<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drone Command and Control<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>And how are these vicious hosts commanded and controlled?&nbsp;Well obviously each drone has a British of French telephone sim card in it. The 5G connection only has to work for about twenty minutes while the platform hits its target. That\u2019s well within anyones ability to react and hit a kill switch at the telecoms company. Or perhaps it communicates through a Starlink system? There is truly global coverage there now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then there is the scary thought. Do the drones even need a connection once launched?&nbsp; With rudimentary on-board AI, are they now at the stage of \u2018fire and forget\u2019? Image processing has come on leaps and bounds and I am told the targeting systems are really not that difficult, if you don\u2019t particularly care who you hit. Are we perhaps even at the point where these technological terrors can use racial profiling before they pull the trigger?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drone Defences<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On the defensive side, from laser based defensive weapons to multi-frequency jammers, EMP\u2019s and localised point defence systems, they all exist. They just don\u2019t exist at the scale needed to protect key points. Note I don\u2019t say a complete shield, that\u2019s not proportionate to the risk. But even with the identified risk, there are not enough defensive systems to go around. That needs to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a lot to think about here, and to unpack. For once, in this article, there is no fiction in any of the technology described. I literally have made nothing up. It\u2019s all here and now, the question is who is going to use it first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you liked this article, do please comment or share.
