Best to strike production capability than pay for missiles to shoot them down.

  There is still a taboo against a nuclear weapons state directly striking another nuclear weapons state, under its own flag.

    Why would you need a nuke to take out a drone factory? There's lots of ways to disrupt production, starting with super low-tech things like drone attacks, assuming you have the intelligence to know where they are being produced.

        > And which flag are they flying? Sure, use tiny NATO flags if you like, but an "are you one of us" transponder might be better.

    Might want to check the French position there. But you don’t need nuclear weapons to take out munitions factories.

      >you don’t need nuclear weapons to . . . GP never implied that the strikes he refers to are nuclear strikes.

    Like India striking Pakistan? Or vice versa?

  Russia stockpiles drones.

    Blow those up too.

  It's hard to take out factories. The UK did a lot of bombing of German factories in WW2 and production still went up.
