In Ukraine, Drones are Now the King of Battle
Much of the war in Ukraine is a morass of mud and positional trench warfare that would have been familiar to a World War I soldier, but it is also a crucible for revolutionary changes to the technology and tactics of war.
While the killing field between the lines would have been familiar to a veteran of, say, the Somme in 1916, the hunters that prowl for miles past the line of contact, deep into rear areas, would have been alien to him.
Life and death on Ukraine’s battlefields is dominated by drones.
Athos never heard the one that got him.
