I can see that it could be a good design to create a self flying missile
with disposable wings, but I was thing cheap and dumb. The moment you
start putting guided missiles into the loop it gets complicates.
Id rather use the saving in missile tech for putting up even more drones.
A beeswarm vs. a human soldier.
That way it can allmost be built in a cellar somewhere. The biggest
problem would be targeting incoming planes.
