We are two years in and war is driving rapid development of this technology. So now we discover that the kamikazi drone is a wonderful werapon. We sort of knew that and that actual protection is a terrribly difficult problem to solve.
Ships at least have their close in hail of bullits machines and we may well need this on land as well.
Otherwise supply convoys will become tyargets of choice or any d**m truck for that matter. soon enough thge only thing safe on the battle field will be the mark one infantryman well spaced.
This also means we have a full counter to long range artillarly.
War will consist of swarms of drones operated anywhere safe with the pilot jumping from attack opportunity to attack opportunity while the swarm itself remains just out of reach.
What this also means is that tanks and armor becomes useless as we have already seen plenty of indication of in the current live fire exercise.
We are going to have to produce aimed rockets on a stick to provide heavy fire support and spread them out as well
Evolving Drone and Counter-Drone Strategies for Future Warfare

Ukrainians are using new drone and counter-drone strategies to blunt Russian offensive. Ukraine is targeting the radio-jammers the Russians use to ground Ukrainian drones while setting up their own jammers to ground Russian drones.
Russia attacked Avdiivka with masses of tanks and infantry. This cost Russia a lot of losses in the range of 17000 casualties over a month or two. Russians then tried to use explosive first-person-view drones, some outfitted for night flights, to attack supply lines in the hope of strangling the garrison and forcing it to withdraw.
Small, explosives-laden drones steadily have become some of the most dangerous weapons in the Russia-Ukraine war. Electronic defenses against these drones and other larger spy and attack drones have become critical.
Many of Ukraine’s radio-jammers have come from the United States, most recently in September as part of a $600-million aid package.
Ukraine adopted the jam first strategy in the summer.
Taiwan is fast-tracking the creation of a self-sufficient drone supply chain. China currently has the lead in drone production and dominates the commercial drone industry.
