British Army in talks to buy killer drones from Silicon Valley start-up

“There has been modelling that raises serious questions about the Apache’s survivability, given what we have seen in Ukraine with neither side’s air force able to get anywhere near the front lines. Now, those air forces are probably less capable than Nato’s, so the alliance’s fixed-wing aircraft would probably not face the same constraints. But helicopters are slower and would be more vulnerable, so the [Army’s drone programme] is intended to increase survivability.”
