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.
