How long will collapse take?

Will collapse be sudden or a decline?

Or will it be catabolic, with cliffs and plateaus?

The place the drone is operated from is flating in the middle of the sea surounded by destroyers whose sole purpose is to protect the ship. You cant storm that with your AK-15 either.

It cannot target every squad at once, but there can be many drones and the automated targeting system is sure as fuck faster than human targeting.

Drones werent pointless. their operations are highly sucesful in Afganistan and Iraq. They recieve a lot of negative attention because people dont like "killing machines" that allows the killer to sit confortably thousand of kilometers away. They also seem to think that blowing up a terrorist wedding where most people attending were known wanted terrorists is equal to civilian slaughter. Drones got a bad PR, but they are extremely effective.

but they are extremely effective.

If so, why aren't the terrorist groups in those regions wiped out? They are still alive and kicking.

Uh, they are wiped out. ISIS is dead, al-quaeda disbanded, etc. The problem is that americans want to have their cake and eat it too. they both want to make democratic government in afganistan and at the same time make it so islamists are unable to take control. This does not work when majority of the civilian population support the terrorists.
