    The drone-directed artillery is a real step up from anything I've seen in previous wars. Along with consumer-grade drones dropping AT/HE grenades, the observation drones are precisely directing mortars and howitzers in cities. Even the best AA defenses will have to contend with miniaturisation there and I think the CIA made insect-scale ones. When those cheap rounds can be as precise as cruise missiles, big nope.

      Oh yeah, the artillery skirmishing is like, civil war wheeling but incredibly rapid. The tactics haven't changed, but the pace at which it is taking place is just so much faster. God, man I am afraid of when that stuff truly reaches scifi hieghts.
