    It definitely still looks experimental and has drawbacks for how it's flown, but now small bomber drones can be intercepted/jammed more easily and the highly trained crews are vulnerable to comparably priced Russian glide bombs. I think something like that or its electronic equivalent will allow them to accurately place one drone on one important target and then move before the Russians can blow up them up with their UAVs.
