Yeah it was road side IEDs, but drone attacks, which can be based on AI and mass, are a real future/current async warfare threat. SO cheap, launch a few hundred/thousand and enough will get through to cause damage
They could probably have a really simple cheap explosive too. Something like the yanks rigged up to drop from helicopters in Vietnam, a grenade in a mason jar. As soon as the jar hits the ground the jar breaks and the pin is pulled .
Ai guided anti drone drones are probably next , hopefully they have cameras so their dogfights can be uploaded to YouTube -
Help Us Decipher This Terrifying Video Of A Suicide Drone Flying Up An Armored Vehicle's Ramp (Updated)

Did anyone here ever actually see this? @Hooroo ?

Yeah man. They used to do them at most Air Shows/Open days.
I believe we were the first to do the Plugged Barrell roll (But I may be incorrect)
Unfortunately we lost a really good pilot and good guy too in a practise session. Name escapes me right now
