"An Inflection Point In The History Of Warfare"

That's how described the Ukrainian drone attack on Russian airfields in a post yesterday. I think there's a reason to be optimistic here though: most countries will likely eschew these sorts of "perfidious" attacks, because the knock-on effects of their enemies retaliating in kind (every civilian and commercial vehicle being suspect) are simply too costly. The Ukrainians may be outliers here in their willingness to court suicidal risk.

But if I'm wrong, it's worse than you think, because it turns out there's an off-the-shelf version of the Ukrainian drown attack. 

Ironically, it was developed by the Russians, as Clint Ehrlich details in the thread below.
