The innovations in drone defense and attack, is re-writing the military warfare handbook, both on land, air, and at sea.
Homemade Ukrainian sea drones have made the Black Sea practically a no-go zone for the Russian Navy, who have lost many ships to them. Also for the cost of one or two small Mavic Drones, hundreds of million dollar tanks, APC's etc. have been destroyed.
When the Russians attack The Villages, I'm sure we'll all be forever thankful to our amateur drone community.
