That has become the defining feature of this conflict. Russian callousness mixed with Ukrainian chutzpah makes this war unique.
Let’s not forget that this uniqueness means more pain and death for the civilian population of Ukraine. Russia’s incompetence is killing Russian soldiers and Ukrainian civilians, since it seems they moved on to attacking them.
The cruelty is what Putin's Russia forced others to comply to their conditions in the past, by literally violating every human norm possible and continueing this, while saying they want to "talk". Especially during so called "ceasefire" peace talks. It's despicable.
I think it was this one, but there was also one in Forbes. The whole benefit of the drone as artillery eyes, comes into full view, if one reads up on modern artillery.
Drones do not have to carry the weapons, thus have more room for spare tanks, thus can circle longer.
Artillery has virtual salvos now (if they do not do the full distance combat, which allows them to fire salvos at different arcs, that arrive simultaneously.
I have also read somewhere, that some artillery shells now have "last meters" impact guidance (somewhat similar to guided bombs). I can not find that article though.
Bayraktar slowlyness seems to be a feature in that regard + it can fly high enough, which helps.
It can also carry 4 missles, which isn't much and needs radio contact, which i thought could be blocked.
But weirdly enough, that's not happening.
