So you just need about six drones to reach the necessary altitude..

Only if 5 of the drones have little arms to control the next one in the chain

There are probably models that can act as repeaters. Isn't the 1 mile range for fiber optic wired ones? You can control a drone by satellite if you want to.

Does anybody here actually think drone swarms aren't the future?

Some fibre drones have a range of 10km and that can only go up, I think. It's crazy.

It's probably not the replacement for everything else though.
