It is wild and utterly tragic to me how much the landscape of warfare as changed so rapidly.

While I adamantly support the Ukrainian defense against Russia's invasion, I still cannot help but feel empathy for many of the soldiers on both sides. Young men and women that likely would rather be anywhere else in the world.

Warhammer 40k lore was right about one thing, "There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods."

The utter tragedy is that old men love to start wars and watch young men die in them.

Technology always changes war, and this is just the beginning of drone technology. Autonomous operations will increase with time, and sooner or later warring nations will just drop clouds of small drones in particular areas and 'let god sort them out'.

This does feel inevitable. And yet can it be made "hackproof"? Even now there are claims that Russian EW is responsible for not just confusing but also taking control of Ukrainian drones, sending them into Baltic countries.

I read that ukrainian army starts enroling at 25 to 60, making it a significantly older army than russia

I mean, Ukraine didn't choose to have this war... but there is a scared old fart in Russia that did.

"Politicians hide themselves away

They only started the war

Why should they go out to fight?

They leave that role to the poor"

Nothing ever changes.

Sooner or later (probably sooner), clouds of killer drones will be coming for all of us.
