I would have expected 500000 people, if not more, employing over a million drones consistently once the battle ramps up from many many different locations and distances and at different targets
If they are not launching drones they would be producing drones for attack one would think until the opposition is crushed
launching a drone means you do not have to be a suicide bomber, it is okay, replenish, go again, and one gets to live and enjoy your freedom which results
