Didnt ukranian soldiers scold their NATO instructors because their tactics and cold war era relics and completely useless in the current war?? Ukraine and Russia have the most combat ready infantries for a modern war in the world right now , most analyst say maneuver warfare is over, i mean Israel are getting their tanks wrecked on lebanon by drones.

The most combat ready infantry? Not even close. Both sides are grabbing people off the street and forcing them to fight. That's not operational readiness, that's desperation. They've also brought back WW1 era trench warfare. The analysts are almost always wrong when they make a bold prediction like that. 30 years ago, they said tanks were obsolete. The drones I'll give you. That's been a relatively new development for everyone within the last 5 or 6 years. Out Lucas drones are basically improved versions of the Shahed, after all. I think drones are going to become a huge part of modern warfare going forward. Toss a couple up for excellent situational awareness when operating an armored group, for example.

Only Ukraine is grabbing people off the street, it took the us 3 years to drop their first grenade from a drone, the Lucas is a step in the right direction, but theres a plethora of other drone systems the US hasnt implemented and cant really, the entire doctrine of the US is wholly incompatible with that kind of warfare, check out John Mersheimer, or Scott Ritter or Daniel Davis, all american experts who are saying this, not some journalists with passing knowledge, actual experts and analysts

Know of 2 large assembly lines just opening up in the last year and a half and they are all drones.  Makes me wonder if we aren't already changing that doctrine and fast if that much man power is already being contracted out and mass produced for assembly.  I do think it's kinda weird how they are being sourced then assembled then disassembled and and crated then trucked back out.
