This drone thing is just a whole new dimension in warfare. The three Ruskies that bailed out of the tank were whacked by drones. I’ve seen videos of individual soldiers being killed by drones.
The point being, just what defense the the common ground pounder have against these things? These drones in their various configurations can go after individual soldiers, tanks, vehicles, buildings, ships and anything they can get near.
I recall the day when I dodged bullets, rockets and mortars. Now today add drones. Don’t think I’d want to be a soldier in that Uke war on either side.
The Ukes have been the pioneers in this style of warfare, just like the British first used smart missiles in the Falklands, and the US first used Patriots in Iraq. The innovation is the thing. But it surely is making war even more terrible.
You’d better believe drone defenses are on the drawing board.
Back and forth it goes.
It’s compelling drama until you remember the human toll.
