There's an uncomfortable comfort in shitposting through the coolzone again after all these years. And yeah, I do kinda want to see some kid micro-ing a few hundred drones through an air-defense network.

AFAIR the US military decided to control their drones with an Xbox controller partly because most kids would be already familiar with it
Just as they designed their grenades (in ww2) to be roughly the same size as a baseball so most kids would be familiar.
I mean, it's a good decision. Even from my own experience, when getting invited to play FIFA on a friend's Xbox (360), never having played anything on an Xbox before, the controller wasn't the reason I've lost badly, it being somewhat intuitive and handling reasonably smoothly
Not an expert but heard this only really applies to light quadcopters. A large part of modern drone warfare are fpvs which are a lot harder to fly and require specialized controls (and training for them).
