T. X. Hammes argues that the current technological revolution is creating a range of small, smart, cheap weapons that can provide small nations with the combat power previously reserved to major powers.

Indeed, he contends that for a modest investment, such nations could present Russia with an unpalatable complex defense of inexpensive autonomous drones, missiles, and ubiquitous improvised explosive devices (IEDs), especially when combined with other NATO members’ capabilities.
