The devastating use of drones during the recent war between Armenia and Azerbaijan highlighted how modern aerial threats, such as drones, have evolved in recent years.
This is a particular problem for the US Army, which shrunk its air-defense arsenal after the Cold War and is now trying to rebuild it to counter new and emerging threats.
The recent six-week war between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the disputed Karabakh region left nearly 6,000 troops and civilians from bothsides dead and hundreds of pieces of military hardware destroyed.
Azeri drones caused much of that destruction. Hours of drone footage showed devastating precision strikes against Armenian targets and reignited debate about the future of the tank.
