In any case I know people who are very familiar with the situation on the ground in Ukraine and it is simply not true that it's all artillery and shells and that drones are propaganda.

I claim that the videos are propaganda. Not the drones.

Maybe the distance soldiers are of each other, pretending to be killing each other, have increased from 300-500m to, dunno, 1600m?

I don't think mortars were a big thing in the 1WW. Otherwise, the trenches would have be further apart. You know, the main reason to fire at the enemy is to let them know where you are. Just to make sure they know. Otherwise it might get ugly. Artillery is further back and does not care about the deal.
