Iranian Drones Swarm Like Jellyfish, US Pilot Says

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from TechRadar ·

The incident, described as 'real alien sh*t,' has sparked debate over whether the drones used sophisticated swarm technology or the pilot misperceived their movements. The claim highlights growing concerns about drone swarming capabilities in modern warfare.

Meridian48 take
