The Drone Warfare Threat is Advancing

These videos from the war in Ukraine illustrate how the drone warfare threat is increasing, even with drones that are largely mere commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) units: (Warning: The following videos have graphic real-world combat carnage and some foul language):

Versus parked military vehicles and self-propelled artillery pieces,

and versus moving vehicles, camouflaged vehicles, and structures,

and, even more frighteningly…

versus dismounted infantry,

…and even at night, with thermal night vision.

JWR’s Comments: Plan accordingly for a potential civil war involving drones. If you think through the Threat Spirals, that means constructing full ghillie suits, preferably with thermal spoofing layers. Seeing these videos makes me appreciate living in a heavily-forested region.
