Next up — the anti-eagle drone

Air superiority on this occasion belongs to the eagle:

What’s next?

Humans train and launch eagles; humans train and launch drones:
What must follow, to my way of thinking, is reciprocal escalation.
After the anti-drone eagle as depicted above, we will have the anti-eagle drone, then the anti-drone eagle modified to take down anti-eagle drones in an ascending spiral of anti-anti-anti drones and eagles.
Thus also: eagles : air force :: dolphins : navy
