If you think that's not practical, wait until you see something microwave powered trying to make quick moves. I want to see what you think it will do when it suddenly has to pass through an urban environment with a ton of obstacles. Are you gonna MIMO the damned microwave beam!?!?!? With millisecond trajectory updates!?!?!? Not mention that a microwave power transmitter in war will die faster than any mobile radar station because it's so god damned trivial to detect and lock onto, you're losing that bullshit in seconds of turning it on The only scenario where this wouldn't be total bullshit is perimeter monitoring drones flying a fixed path, where you for some reason really don't want to have to have multiple drones in rotation (which honestly doesn't make much sense either but at least that's just 80% BS instead of 100% BS)
