I had an idea for drone flocks striking deep into Russia, since AI drones are now being implemented.

I remembered you can steal power from high power electric transmission lines. So I thought adding a wireless charger could allow drones to repower mid-mission.

Apparently it's already a thing in some commercial drones.

    I kinda think that power lines can be an easy target for power supply disruption. NATO used graphite bombs back in 1999, and drones can deliver metal wire mesh to the same effect.
