Military application of AI drones isn't even the worst possible use, it's nations using them to completely subjugate their own population(although the same tech could be used against non-peer nations). Combination of things like Gorgon Stare to direct smaller AI controlled drones like what they are using in Ukraine would be a police state nightmare.

they can surveil an entire city in real-time with this and track where everybody is and who they are meeting with. No form of protest or movement against the government will be possible if it's scaled up
