A: Volumetric attrition. If an adversary uses advanced Electronic Warfare (EW) to jam your GPS, causing 45% of your drones to crash into the dirt on every single mission... If you fly 7 missions a week with 40 drones, you are losing 126 drones a week. Your factory must physically assemble and ship 504 new units every single month just to keep the swarm at its baseline strength, costing $7.5M in monthly supply chain burn.
