This confirms my description of the Ukraine-Russian war as “The First Drone War”.

Sure, drones have been used in warfare, arguably since WWII.

But the Ukraine-Russian war is the first war where Drones have become, perhaps, the most important type of weapon in the war.

Israel should have taken out Iran’s drone factories 3 years ago while they had the chance.

I hope the Pentagon is paying attention. We need more drones, LOTS more drones.

***********

Perhaps Putin is preparing to fight a future war using Ukraine as the training ground? With all the NATO involvement he (and by extension China, North Korea and Iran) have accumulated much knowledge about weapons, tactics, drone warfare, etc. used by the West, as well as his own capabilities. Just sayin.

Maybe the whole point is this war is to be a proving ground for new types of weapons, much like The Spanish Civil War.

No, they didn’t. Drones are here to stay but to say they are the most importnat is childish.
