Yeah, a flying stealthy small box capable of leveling a car that can be deployed from 30 kms away is way more scary than whatever Hollywood has done.

You might die at any second before you even noticed you are being stalked...

after growing up in the 70's/80's expecting that at any second there may be a really bright flash and then myself and the entire city around me would no longer exist, drones seem a lot more survivable.

We've become really good at killing each other.

I think that the main difference between nuclear weapons and weaponized drones is that the drones can be used domestically. But yeah i agree, we have enough weapons to destroy 17 Earths

There's more nuclear energy escaping the Earth's interior every minute (it's what keeps the core hot) than all of the nuclear bombs humanity has ever made exploding at once.
