#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ Interceptor Drone Swarm vs Shahed Missile Simulation ===================================================== Simulates 3 pre-positioned interceptor drones that fly in the same direction as the Shahed missile, using IR tracking to home in and collide. Key concept: Lower delta speed gives more time for AI adjustments. 3-drone formation absorbs radar positioning errors.
