Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

[Spitfire9]

Have drones now reached the point where infantry can no longer operate effectively near front lines? Ukraine and Russia are now producing very large numbers of FPV drones. Those drones can target individual soldiers, reportedly with a high chance of neutralising them.

I suspect that warfare involving infantry has been changed radically due to the advent of FPV drones, particularly since FPV drones can be produced and fielded at low cost.

Footage of a Russian drone, presumably the FPV drone "Prince Vandal of Novgorod," striking a Ukrainian naval drone, the "Barracuda." The video was filmed in the Black Sea. The "Barracuda" naval drone is armed with four anti-aircraft missiles.
