Sunday With Blackthorn - The Ukraine-Russia Wars Impact On Modern Warfare

 Russia invade The Ukraine in February of 2022. It's now November of 2026 and the war is still ongoing. In the article linked below there is no talk of the damage to infrastructure, or the loss of life and the displacement of civilians on both sides of the conflict. 

 However there is one thing that has come from this war that will  influence other modern countries around the globe. The use of the weapons, logistics, technology, etc. will b studied by all the modern militaries in the world. From Drones  used for offensive purposes such as dropping everything from hand grenades to to mortar shells, to the use of Elon Musks Starlink system for real time targeting and reconnaissance by the Ukrainians to Hypersonic Missiles used by the Russians. 

This conflict will be studied for years.

Te link below is about a more mundane aspect of the weapons used by the Ukrainians. Small arms and optic-sights may not be very high tech, but in the end, it's the boots on the ground that eventually either win or lose ground.
