As some contemplate the harm we are going to do by invading China, Russia, Venezuela I wonder how far along Maduro and his Russian friends have gotten in shaping the new VDF and equipping it with a zillion cheap expendable drones and some cool little clip on payloads in various sizes and interesting fuze settings. Now a true Marxist idiot would have every one of those zillion drones in a big warehouse near the port where they are carefully kept under lock and key and of course nobody except Regime Security Forces would be permitted within a mile of them because if there was ever a 2 edged weapon it is a weaponized drone in the hands of a patriot counterrevolutionary.
So that is said and the next question asked at the War College might be, so General, how did you deal with those once you found that they'd been distributed to over 500 Provincial Defense Battalions and each of them turned out to have 30,000 drones and 300 drone operators?
After that of course, how did you provide security when your columns were on the move and how effective were your drone countermeasures after dark?
Did you notice any special emphasis the drones used to target your broadcast C4I nodes or was it just general all-around mayhem, death and destruction?
What drone security measures did you implement to provide for flight safety over the Battle Area and how effective was it?
What did personnel and vehicles find was the most effective anti-drone weapon and did you have enough of them at the outset or did you find it all a terrible surprise when the zillions of drones started showing up and day 1 of the new conflict?
These are exactly the kinds of questions I hope they are asking themselves right now and hopefully have managed to at least make progress on some of the answers. That would be my Christmas wish for our Armed Forces because right now factories all over Russia are making thousands of these every week and the Russians are always looking to boost exports this time of year.

Seems the US military is always fighting the current war using the wrong techniques and strategies from the last one. Why would the next time be any different.
We should at least try to make an effort. I am aware that no countries other than Russia and Ukraine have understood the new phase of warfare but they are being helped enormously by flocks of killer drone makers in China, Korea, Iran, and the rest of the Axis of 'maybe not so much evil, as not inclined to be pushed around by a bunch of Euroweenies and America.' It was the BRICS but I don't know if they all have expanded to Weapon Shops yet.
Seems even the Mexican Drug Cartels have expanded their skillsets to armed drones.

Like the gun made armored knights nearly useless...
The entire RC plane/helicopter/drone hobby industry is about to be tossed into chaos with new regulations.
