Russia and Ukraine

[Bumblebee]

I look at file footage and see all the snow and ice the Ukrainians are fighting in and don't miss that at all...one guy's teeth were chattering so hard that there's no way he could be effective in aiming his rifle...

It's one thing to pop outside, do something knowing full well you have a warm, comfortable house to come into, it's a whole other thing to know there's nowhere warm awaiting you...

I recall watching footage of the Battle for Bastogne and thinking this as well..

..........there's nothing good about warfare and even less when it's freezing outside.

warfare must have changed so much since your stint, on Reddit you see video footage of drones literally chasing individual soldiers around a tree, then the drone is exploded and end of the life

It has been a while since I was in combat......however......there is still the "blood and guts" of warfare that isn't shown as much....

These drones chasing around soldiers is just one part of a huge action......there is still lots of boots on the ground getting pounded by mortars and artillery and run down by tanks...

The US has very sophisticated anti-drone equipment that they won't give Ukraine for fear it will end up in Russian laboratories....drones can be jammed...the downside is the jammers are not particular as to who is being jammed......

There's still some infantry guy sitting cold and wet in a trench.....that will never change.
