The sound of modern warfare that will cause panic attacks in the next generation of PTSD sufferers….
Further, during the Korean war it took approximately 50,000 rounds of small arms fire to kill one enemy. Drones might be more cost effective both from financial and troop perspectives. The accuracy of modern guided artillery is certainly a game changer. This war is certainly changing the way armies will fight in the future.

Nutty, I'll suggest that you have that one in the wrong thread.
Back to aviation:
Bad weather is common in this month and the coming months. What's that going to do to
Air warfare, drones? I have read a few bits here and there on the coming winter campaign, but nothing that really moved the needle.

x n Y
100 years ago we had the trench war on the x plane, now we are doing the same from the y n z, drones are probably cheaper than bullets.
but **** i hate seeing sleeping humans pushed it the front blown away like meat sacks. by drone. then again there no difference between that and an old trench shell.
a allied hand handled it seconds before it blowing up the other sides guy on return to earth.#
on a lighter note, kinda

New Polish PM to demand 'full mobilisation' of West behind Ukraine
New Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has left Ukraine in no doubt as to his feelings on the war - saying he will "demand full mobilisation" of the West.
Relations between the two neighbours have appeared to sour slightly in recent months during a tense election campaign.
There was a ban on Ukrainian grain imports in September, in a bid by the Law and Justice party to get farmers on side. Now-defeated PM Mateusz Morawiecki then went further, announcing Poland would end the supply of arms to Ukraine and focus on domestic rearmaments. The remarks were later caveated but would have been viewed with concern in Kyiv amid talk of the potential for war fatigue in the West.
Now, Mr Tusk has moved to reaffirm his country's backing for the war effort, tweeting: "We will demand the full mobilisation of the West to help Ukraine.
"I can't listen any more to politicians who talk about being tired of the situation in #Ukraine... attack on Ukraine is an attack on us all."

And he appears proud of such modern aids.... I just hope he does not see what Ukraine supply to their troops.
