Days after the conflict in Ukraine began, I commented on a dream posted on another thread that suggested drone use would be the defining factor in the war. Comparing the Russians to bullies in the narrative, the dream went as follows:

There were little cartoon girls and little boys, in real like settings. It was a huge building with an upstairs and downstairs. The little girls' area was downstairs and was all forest/woods. Upstairs looked more like a military base. The boys were up there. They had this long box in the middle of their play area with a lot of missiles inside. They were taking the missiles out and bombing the girls' play area. The girls were smart though. They had this flat looking drone and sent it carrying a missile up the stairs. It seemed to be invisible to the boys. The drone dropped a missile the same size, into the box of missiles, and the entire play area exploded upstairs. One of the boys looked seared, but was excited/happily telling what looked like the leader of the girls downstairs about it.

In the months that have passed, this dream has been playing. The huge building is the entire theatre of war, i.e. the Ukraine, and the "girls area" being forest and woods is a reference to the Ukraine controlling much of the "countryside," while the boys area (the "upstairs") being "more like a military base" is a reference to Russia having a much larger military. As I stated when this dream was published, the Russians were the bullies in this dream because the whole plan from the outset was to bully Zelensky's government into capitulating, only as the dream also suggested, it did not go this way. Instead, through better use of technology (drone use specifically), the "special operation" was transformed into a full-scale war.

There were other elements prophesied in this dream, such as the suggestion that spies were embedded in Russian intelligence who would secretly be working for the Ukrainians, and report to them about the effect their attacks and tactics were having on the battlefield. There was also the suggestion that despite the Russians initially being the "bullies" in this conflict, they would actually hold the spiritual high ground, as depicted by being "upstairs" in the dream (upstairs/ downstairs is a symbolism frequently used to depict relative spiritual standing, and a closer look at both country's stand on Christian morality reveals this to be the case).

But what I have found most interesting is the dream's clear focus on drone use be the deciding factor in the war, and how much it has already played out on the battlefield. The following thread will be dedicated to posting videos on how important a role drones now play in modern warfare, and the effect they have been having on the Russian-Ukraine war. I will be including videos on the current state of the art in drone warfare, but I will start here with one on how drone use escalated quickly at the beginning of the war.

The real threat behind drones is that they are what's called "loitering munitions," which means they can hover over a target or series of specific targets for an extended period of time before striking at the best moment possible. In other words, they inflict precision strikes that are extremely efficient.

The following video makes this apparent:



While the use of smaller drones is effective on a smaller scale, some are designed to take out heavy armor as well, and this is where the Russians can get hit the hardest. The US has been sending Switchblade 600 "kamikaze" drones to the Ukraine, along with hundreds of Switchblade 300s. This is in part why there has been a higher than average number of generals and commanders in the Russian army getting killed, and why Russian operations have gotten bogged down in many instances. When used in combination with drones equipped with communication intercepting technology (IMSI catchers), by matching unit to unit communication with how units are reacting to orders, the operators of heavy duty tank-killers can figure out who the unit commanders are based on unit movement, and take out generals and unit commanders with devastating precision. Most frontline commanders are now in tanks rather than lighter armored vehicles, in part because the smaller drone systems cannot pierce heavy armor. But the latest 600 models the Pentagon is now sending can cover twice the distance, hover over target three times longer, and are specifically designed to be tank destroyers. It presents immense problems militarily, in particular for the Russians, because their military structure is so top-down. When their command structure is taken out, it takes them longer to regroup, making it possible to take out entire columns before they know what hit them.

As the following report states regarding the development of drone warfare currently going on in Ukraine, "What we are watching is no less than the real time evolution of warfare."

Now we get to more of what is going on now. Because the conflict has transitioned to more open field warfare, heavy artillery is being used, and drones are being used to spot for artillery units, making them much more effective. While these videos contain footage of Ukrainian drone-guided artillery attacks, it should be kept in mind that the Russians are using drones for the exact same purposes.



So what is the cutting edge right now? I believe it is this drone right here, made by a Ukrainian company exclusively for the Ukrainian army. It can only take out lighter armored targets and strategic targets as of yet, but it is virtually silent in the air, virtually impossible to see (especially with cloud cover overhead), inexpensive to build, it's reusable, and easy to assemble, disassemble and transport. If the Ukrainians can develop this technology to the place where they can effectively take out armored vehicles with it, the game will then be over, IMO. It will simply be a matter of if and when they can produce enough of them to end the war.

It appears drones are what broke the Russian blockade on Kiev. The systems the Ukrainians are using have infrared, so they use them at night when Russian targets are stationary. And unlike random artillery shelling, a drone won't miss.


Some footage of Ukrainian drone strikes at night:


The Ukrainian use of drones has been much more extensive, but Russia is now ordering hundreds of military grade drones from Iran, and for the same reasons. They're cheap, and very effective on the battlefield:
