    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    NOTE: I prepared this piece over a month ago, and very recently, a lot of its conclusions have been validated by Ukraine’s latest counteroffensive operation, ‘Vivaldi’. Olena over at Ukraine Arms Monitor has produced an update that goes into excellent detail on this operation, and I would highly recommend reading it. Drones. Drones.

Similar videos appear of the likes of Ukraine’s ‘Hornet’ AI-enabled medium strike drones destroying Russian logistics and menacing Russian shadow fleet ships.The destruction they wreak is extensive, but they are far from the only airborne drone weapons in Ukraine’s arsenal.
