Examining Musk's Claims: Right or Wrong?
While Musk's interest in drone technology is aligned with current defense trends, many experts dispute his assertions. For one, drone capabilities, particularly quadcopters, significantly differ from traditional fighter jets. For combat purposes, quadcopters are often limited by range and payload, failing to meet the operational standards of existing manned aircraft. Most combat drones have a limited operational range; they typically can't carry heavy loads or match the speed and altitude of their manned counterparts.
