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.

Ahead of tomorrow's Ramstein meeting, Germany announced a new, massive $4.7 Billion usd military aid package for Ukraine. The package consists of the following:

- $3.7 Billion usd for "hundreds" of PAC-2 GEM-T air defense missiles purchased from Raytheon and built in Germany.

- 8 Additional IRIS-T SLM Air Defense Systems, bringing the total committed to 36 SLM / SLS systems. IRIS-T missiles will provided alongside.

- 5000 mid range strike drones, to be built in Germany in collaboration with Ukraine.

- $300 million usd for joint development and production of additional long range systems.

Note: representatives of 50+ countries will gather at tomorrow's Ramstein summit. As a result, significant additional military aid is expected to be announced. This should be bolstered by Orban's ouster in Hungary and the European Union's anticipated passing of a $105 Billion usd military / financial aid package for Ukraine.

Germany will pay for 'hundreds' of Patriot missiles for Ukraine

The arrangement is part of a new strategic partnership agreement reached today between Kyiv and Berlin, which included a flurry of arms deals to the tune of 4 billion euros.
