Russians With Attitude Retweeted Dr.Snekotron:
“Ground level and drone footage of a spetsnaz ambush on a Ukrainian recon team.”
Note how the Russians gave medical treatment to the wounded survivor, and then immediately used a “drag litter” to haul him away. My guess is that besides the ambush, their goal was to collect a prisoner for interrogation. Seems like it worked.
Another important lesson: day or night, if you are out patrolling, a drone might be above you watching your every move, until you are ambushed, rocketed, mortared, or shelled. Small tactical drones are a game changer.

It also sets the stage for AI-controlled robotics in the battlefield.
I'm actually of the opinion that the firearm is rapidly becoming obsolete.
