> FPV drones are a novelty

I can't find the link, but I believe I read Russian doctors claiming that drones were now the #1 cause of battlefield infantry injuries.

This makes sense because of the other aspects at play in the war, namely no one having clear air dominance, which allows artillery to shape the battlefield. In the shaped battlefield, the hunter-killer type drones have a target rich environment.
That’s really impressive, - although for more deadly weapons deaths/injuries ratio would be different than with drones.
