That war is a terrifying preview of how future wars will be fought: increasingly with robots.
I read that in a 10 square kilometer area of the front, that often hundreds of drones from both sides are operating. That is a lot of eyes in the sky, a guy can't take a dump without having ordnance dropped on him.
The Russians already learned that aircraft have to be parked in hardened shelters, else they're easy meat for a weaponized drone. Not sure how aircraft carriers will address that challenge, but their air defense assets will probably multiply many times. The last thing a ship needs is having an aircraft fueled up and armed to the teeth getting blown up on its deck ...
I expect that soon enough we'll see drone-hunting drones, the job of which will be to clear the sky of enemy drones. Of course, other drones will be targeting them as well.
Something tells me, as well, that at some point, Iran will regret having sided with Russia in the war. Ukraine's drones are of increasingly long reach, and Tehran is well within their striking range.
Cheers
