They are most lethal in combination with long range artillery.. this was the deadly recipe that helped erdogan to "win" against kurds in syria. Scout, shoot, scout more, shoot again.. with enough experience the artillery can even shoot "with prediction" at the location the goal will be at in x seconds.
- NicoJuicy 5y agoAny source on this? I knew about the relative success, but was unaware of the combo with artillery ( although it makes sense)

I think it was this one, but there was also one in Forbes. The whole benefit of the drone as artillery eyes, comes into full view, if one reads up on modern artillery. Drones do not have to carry the weapons, thus have more room for spare tanks, thus can circle longer. Artillery has virtual salvos now (if they do not do the full distance combat, which allows them to fire salvos at different arcs, that arrive simultaneously. I have also read somewhere, that some artillery shells now have "last meters" impact guidance (somewhat similar to guided bombs). I can not find that article though.
