Is the war in Ukraine the first "post-manpower war"? Ukraine isn't even using infantry to fight anymore, they have unmanned ground drones supported by unmanned air drones taking ground.
No.
>>65211208What were the previous ones then?
>>65211156>Ukraine isn't even using infantry to fight anymore, they have unmanned ground drones supported by unmanned air drones taking ground.You're fucking retarded if you beleive this. Both Russia and Ukraine are still throwing conscripts at the grinder by the thousands. Drones are used for area denial and harrasing fire (which thanks to said drones is now harrasing your entire country instead of just the front lines)..
>>65211213There hasn't been one yet as manpower is still highly relevant in a war economy and manpower has been used extensively in Ukraine.
>>65211227To be fair, it's only a few units doing it on the Ukrainian side by now, and they're increasingly catching flak for it. It's not really by the thousands any more on their side, is what I'm saying. The posture and strategy is shifting to what OP describes but they're not quite there yet.
>>65211227Ukraine has been losing le thousands daily for 4+ years nowSo where are the gains, russmutt? Why did the Russian navy lose a frigate and their morst advanced corvette over the past two days?>>65211156You just wanted to post "le anime pic" here because you don't have a friendgroup to discuss this with. Fuck off.
>>65211265>is what I'm saying.Admitting you're OP.>The posture and strategy is shifting to what OP describes but they're not quite there yet.Trying to samefag and claim you're not OP. In the same message. LOL
>>65211156>Because Russian sucks at doing X does that mean X is outdated?No.
>>65211571Are you some kind of ESL, or just uneducated and retarded? "is what I'm saying" is just a clarification of the previous sentence. I'm saying neither you nor OP is completely correct, but that over time, reality is converging to look more like OP's depiction than yours.
>>65211156>OP sees one soundbite about a single ground drone and this means Ukraine isn't using infantry to fight any morelmao
>>65211156>Ukraine isn't even using infantry to fight anymoreThat's because they don't have the manpower to go on the offensive. They're fighting a defensive war to bleed Russia dry because that's all they can do. We'll see what happens with these new mechanized units they created, if they are able to take back Crimea and parts of Kherson/Zaporizhzhia from the undersupplied Russians I would cum massive buckets.`
>>65211577Who is OP?
>>65211156>Ukraine isn't even using infantry to fight anymoreHuh?
>>65211302>You just wanted to post "le anime pic" here because you don't have a friendgroup to discuss this with.Many, many such cases. Probably the basis for half the threads on multiple boards.
>>65211740Obviously it's not an immediate process but they are slowly retiring their infanty
>>65211812>berlin in 2 weeks>we "control" a fifth of ukraine after 5 years, emptying our air, missile and armor stockpiles and a million casualties imprussive cumrag
>>65211796No they aren't.
>>65211812that .gif does a really good job at showing the course of the war over the past 4 years
>>65211812Actually it's 15 million now, go to #shilling-scripts and follow the links for up to date talking points.
>>65211796Who told you this?
>>65211903>>65212034It will take time for them to build up enough of a UGV force but yes they slowly are
>>65211156>Ukraine isn't even using infantry to fight anymoreThis is the dumbest shit I have read in awhile, you think the front advances while the infantry stay still?Ukraine is using drones to kill as much as possible before the infantry advance and just like when this same tactic was done with arty in the past you always miss enough that the infantry have to fight.
>>65212096Where are you getting this information?
Brainlets on /k/ still cope about tanks not being made obsolete by drones, which was 2022 news.Infantry being made obsolete by drones is actual 2026 news, it'll take 10-20 years for imbeciles like >>65212283 to realize this.
