    That Ukraine even needs so many unmanned weapons points to a deep manpower shortage.

    Another possibility is that the Ukrainian government values it’s manpower more than Russian government.

      That would be a possibility if we didn’t know exactly how bad is Ukraine with manpower right now, and that it’s so bad in part due to their failed major offensives, done in exactly the Russian way.

      They are, right now, pulling “replaceable” personnel from things like AD to infantry.

      They are being overwhelmed. In that exact dirty wasteful way Westerners in the Interwebs are laughing about, because they are not going to be drafted to a frontline to show how it’s done right.

      Ukraine loses the war if no Western country commits its troops directly.

    The part of me that has read a lot of sci-fi thinks this is super cool from a technological viewpoint.

    The other part of me, which also reads sci-fi thinks thinks it’s a scary sign of things to come from an ethical perspective.

    All sides agree fuck Russia.
