Subject: Re: The changing winds of war
Drones are now used instead of aircraft, both as a proxy for airborne artillery and for reconnaissance. While I guess it may be safer and provide a more powerful weapon for a soldier to be inside of a tank than a foxhole, but it is also a vulnerable target.
Ukrainian use of drones pretty much ended Russian tank wave attack. Now the Russians use drones to attack Ukrainian infrastructure. The Russians now has a factory or factories assembling drones using China or Iran parts. Russian drone attacks include the use of many decoy drones [that are cheap to manufacture] to penetrate the Ukrainian air defense system.
