It still seems to be about artillery pounding shells at some place a bit away and trucks moving shells to said artillery. Infantry and armor being some statistical cost in shells. Most shells kinda wins eventually.
Drones just made it even more unlikely that enemies see each other before they die of shrapnel wounds, mines, or what ever.
Those videos are propaganda.
- llamaimperative 2y ago"eventually" is doing some heavy lifting there
- rightbyte 2y agoYe. But the soldiers will be home before Christmas surely. Edit: "/s". Referring to some unnamed WW1 quote.
- llamaimperative 2y agoIn any case I know people who are very familiar with the situation on the ground in Ukraine and it is simply not true that it's all artillery and shells and that drones are propaganda.
- rightbyte 2y agoI claim that the videos are propaganda. Not the drones. Maybe the distance soldiers are of each other, pretending to be killing each other, have increased from 300-500m to, dunno, 1600m? I don't think mortars were a big thing in the 1WW. Otherwise, the trenches would have be further apart. You know, the main reason to fire at the enemy is to let them know where you are. Just to make sure they know. Otherwise it might get ugly. Artillery is further back and does not care about the deal.
