1/ Drones
Quite and interesting day today and recently we have witnessed a lots of changes in this area.
As talk early in the war - this will grow up more and more, hopefully we can get on couple years the same amount of transformation that aviation experienced during WWI..

2/ Recently thanks to multiple reports and direct confirmations we know that there was a very very substantial "grow" in the use of Drones for one part and in their "capacity" for the other part...

3/ also nice thread here from David

4/ "#Drones became indispensable assistants for the 251 TDF battalion's reconnaissance platoon. They help protect the scout team from detection and significantly increase the effective survey area". Direct info tonight from #ZSU

5/ and as expected ... we are witnessing more and more direct battle between drones in the air :
(we are witnessing a real important transformation in the use of drones by the army)
Next we could see recruitment of dedicated soldiers for these missions

6/ As we have seen Airbus doing a ucav/drone drop from an A 400M and claiming dozen could be launched in the future from this platform..
we can easily imagine 5 years down the road, a complete corps dedicated to assault positions from control rooms & hundreds of small drones

7/ also this a video today from a direct attack from Ukr drone striking something in #bryansk which is about 75 km inside of #Russia
this is more disruptive than destructive here... but B+ for effort.
in about 3-5 months you can expect 10 times that.

8/ and if you think you have seen everything or imagine everything about it... :
imagine what an be done if scaled up. (not on men = forbidden) but on infrastructures/vehicles to disrupt ongoing ops..

9/ Also this is a new type of attack from small #drones from #UAarmy that i have never witnessed before..
could be new material and new way of using it.
