    It’s exaggeration… The people flying the drones are generally very physically fit and flying by fiber optics out in the field so the drones can’t be disrupted. They’re also carrying weapons and other heavy gear, and escorted by friendlies, in case someone tries to get the jump on them

    But it’s funnier to play into the fact that drones are genuinely dominating the battlefield

      Fiber optics is pretty rare compared to regular analog, and there is obvious price, range and battery considerations.

      But yeah they need to be fit.
