A Dominic Nicholls report from a Ukraine operations room.

Kill zone from Front Line Own Troops to 30 km into the enemy rear with $2000 fibreoptic drones modified locally everyday.

5 km front for a brigade with one factory supplying 2000 FPVs a monthfor the brigade. 200 or so for a battalion.

No vehicular movement within the kill zone.

Russians dropped off 20 km from their destination, advancing on foot with no kit, led on the route by drones hoping that their kit will be delivered by drones once they are in position.

Thats some good value right there.

Considering Afghanistan was approximately 13 million per direct kill and Vietnam was 168-200k (1970 dollars) the West has a lot to learn from them. And that is facing off against a much inferior force, let alone a peer to peer or even dominate force.
