Reconnaissance drone video released by Ukrainian sources shows the destruction of combat robotics platforms operated by Russian Forces. The video was filmed near Avdiivka, which is apparently becoming the new frontier of drone combat and a proper proving grounds for the future modern warfare.

I don't think there is a soul in the world who can look at a video like this and not see a bleak future for the next evolution of war. Similar to the invention and introduction of the machine gun and tanks in World War 1, we are seeing technology storm onto the battlefield and change the face of combat. The things happening in Ukraine today are going to require the re-writing of a large number of combat arms manuals, and I don't think there is anyway that we, or really anyone, can predict what's going to happen next.
