Russia's Caesar Kunikov large landing ship sinks in Black Sea - media

The US just cancelled a major helicopter project because drones do the job cheaper

Drones are becoming a huge game changer.

Even simple unarmed $300 drones with an IR camera are proving to be extremely effective. The level of live battlefield information and situational awareness they are bringing to commanders on the ground is at least equivalent to what a platoon of recon troops can offer.

Next up are the drones capable of carrying light loads like air dropped grenades or explosives than can take our expensive vehicles like aircraft. The return on investment for these systems are insane.

For few hundred $ you get capability that formerly was only provided by ATGMs, and it's several times lighter as well, not to mention increased situational awareness. Every military worth their salt will have to study it and countermeasures

Especially considering war is always a battle between offence and defence and we’ve been in a defence stage for so long with modern armoured vehicles.

For sure, hasnt the whole world learned that heavy expensive vehicles can be countered by relatively cheap munitions?
Even without air superiority Ukraine has made MBT's basically useless.

Actually fewer steps. You don't need an entire ship or submarine.

This is actually kind of cool to see, comparing it to the fleet in general.

What does the circle indicate?

Thank you kindly for doing the Lord's work. You rock.
