Great and informative presentation. I can only imagine how this militarization of young minds will lead us into a world of chaos and violence we can only imagine now. But it’s interesting to note how this decentralizes violence , that military aggression can now easily transformed into civil violence , terror, and it’s difficult if not impossible to trace the actual physical aggressors. It seems It’s heading in the direction of being the ultimate terrorizing tool. A frightening combination of aggression and anonymity. That makes enforcement of protocol almost impossible.

The whole aspect of modern warfare is so divorced from location now. You can kill sny unsuspecting object human or otherwise with a manipulated drone from 2000 kilometers.

This analysis and your conclusion warning about how this wartime lesson can shape the future is a brilliant statement on the waging of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine.

I was especially impressed with your information on the Russian efforts to match Ukraine’s innovative drone strategy. We forget that there are clever engineers there as well.

However, as I have watched interviews and actual footage of drone strikes,there seems to be a more consistent and coordinated strategy for their use by the Ukrainians. Is that also reflected in the two countries’ differences in their methods and approaches to the waging of their battles?

Russians also have a consistent strategy. In fact, they were the first to employ some innovations, such as fiber-optic drones, and their experimentation with AI tech is also progressing rapidly. Their Rubikon unit has all the most advanced tech and the best resources.

They are using it for malicious purposes though. Inflicting terror, killing civilians. It’s a part of their strategy.
