Drone Warfare: Our militaries have yet to catch up with what is coming

The arithmetic of warfare is fundamentally changing.  […] American military doctrine is still organized around exquisite, expensive platforms designed for a kind of conflict that is no longer the one being fought. A great deal of current military spending is going to systems whose purpose, training pipelines and budgets are built on assumptions Ukraine has already disproven. The institutions have not yet acknowledged that the doctrines and resources no longer match the war they will have to fight. 

[…] This is the greatest revolution in warfare in history. We are at the very beginning of working out what it means, and neither our political leaders nor our militaries have yet caught up with what is coming.
