The reduced time between detection and engagement, driven by real-time drone surveillance and the high velocity of FPV attack drones, has created a hostile environment for traditional armored platforms on the battlefield.

This battlefield approach is likely to become a lasting part of Russian military practice, making it relevant for those preparing to counter Russian aggression

    Ok here is another easy hypothetical, imagine the surfboard equivalent of an umanned jetpowered surfboard that could be sent out to rescue people who have been swept out to sea in storm conditions. In a situation that might be too dangerous for even lifeguards to enter into, a surfboard could be driven out to the person to at least provide them something to hold onto and at best rescue them without ever having put a human life at risk, and rescuers will have been able to try a lower percent success rescue mission that is better than sitting back and doing nothing (vs. putting a human crew in extreme risk and failing to keep them safe during the rescue).

    This kind of vehicle makes a normal stretcher immediately obsolete in any kind of open terrain scenario where help is far away, difficult or dangerous to get to. Even if a human crew accompanies the UGV rescuing someone, they can be far more alert to dangers and hazards and deal with them accordingly if they aren’t exhausted and distracted by carrying the person on a stretcher manually.

    Logistics will never be the same, of any kind, honestly it is such a generally useful and simple use of unmanned technology.
