Drone wars in the straits

The Italians, even, are sending a frigate or two. I think the Dutch are in and the French. They are all bringing their newest drones.

War is war, I suppose but anyone can play the game. I am looking at the complete package for an electric drone with 10 miles capability.  The Asians have brought down the cost of hobby grade controllers, motors, batteries, GPS. My total cost for a low cost foam drone with surveillance is way below $1000, maybe closer toe $300. 

The straits is about 25 miles across, easily handled with a suicidal, foam drone. We are not even at the  low cost, autonomous boats.   I have a hard time imagining the resulting war, but we are soon to find out.
