Of what use is a trench when warfare is now conducted by drones?

--- "Of what use is a trench when warfare is now conducted by drones?"

Like California's high-speed rail project, the contractors will get paid, and paid and paid for busy work. "The Baltic Defense Line" sounds so good, it's almost like marketing.

One finds in the Baltic nations, earlier this year:

Baltic states' electricity prices surge 60-fold after withdrawal from Russian power grid Caliber, 25 February 2025

Electricity prices skyrocket in Estonia EuroNews, 12 February 2025

Electricity price hikes due to lull in renewable generation – Lithuanian regulator LRT, Lithuania, 11 February 2025

So that "Baltic Defense Line" seems like just the thing to divert Baltic nations' citizens from noticing their monthly energy bills....

Drones are good for attacks and surveillance, while tanks are still used for moving the lines of occupation.

Some of the warfare is now conducted by drones but tanks are still used for moving the lines of occupation. It is estimated Russia has lost 4,000 tanks so far in its invasion.

And missiles, airplanes, helicopters, paratroopers, ships, very long range artillery...

Exactly. Patton said any fixed fortification built by man can be overcome.
