re: #200 The Ghost of a Flea
Good analysis.
I also think that this is a prime example of the absolute hell of drone warfare. The russians knows there is a spotter drone nearby. Anything that is sent to rescue the guy, will be blown up by other drones guided by the spotter drone. Any gathering of people trying to help or carry him away will likewise be blown up. If you are caught in the open with drones around you have very few options. A bullet to the head might just be best for everybody.

Ive read somewhere that at at least the ukrainians more or less have absolute knowledge of russian units to say a depth of 20 km from the frontline. So hidden movements will be spotted. Gatherings of force will be spotted. In real time, by unit that can act against the threat.
Im thinking that the west is really are playing cathup on this and what it means for how our armies will be built and operated.
