How drones are reshaping the battlefield in Ukraine – The Global Jigsaw podcast, BBC World Service

Now the Russians have more drones.

The purpose of these systems is to provide continual overwatch needs noting. It is the revolution in digital cameras that has been the game changer as well as in the case of Putin Russia anyways to develop tactics to properly "hide" from these systems instead simply driving and flying in in broad daylight only to be stopped and turned into the proverbial "sitting duck" which is ideal for drone warfare. Also new drones are battery powered and thus have an incredible "sortie rate" in the right conditions meaning if the enemy is fully engaged at point blank range one can loft hundreds of missions per day and of various types and effects as well as first off the up front capital expense is crazy low (maybe a few hundred thousand US Dollars) for numerous indeed innumerable systems but then once you start using $5.00 US Dollar hand grenades as the "weapon" this requires a stand off presence to combat which for some reason in the case of Russia they have simply been unwilling to do this into upon Ukraine. As this very simple technology becomes more militarized with hardened electronics, better communication systems, better optics, better range these advantages of pure play electric battery powered drones can grow quite dramatically as well…plus the software system as well ("return to home.") So now not just an incredible sortie rate but very rapid reload be possible. As far as Russian "kamikaze drones" this is nothing new as this was a tactic used persistently by Japan in World War 2 which was definitely very destructive but in no way impeded operations of the US Navy. The same is apparently true with Russia against Ukraine creating a kind of "Battle of Britain" situation which while terrifying will harden resolve as well. Once Ukraine goes from having hundreds of thousands of drones to millions of them the effect could be quite stunning against Russia and anyone else opposed to Ukraine for that matter. Already the Russian Black Sea Fleet has effectively been written off incredibly…this by a Nation that has no Navy.

Only K2 Panther MBT is hardened against drones

Who knew the Russians will be able to match up the west leading to Panic?

they havent changed the war, war has always been and always will be the same, theyve changed the battles

I see the astroturfers aren't even coherent anymore
