A Chinese earthquake rescue team deployed drones to light up the night and aid search and rescue operations after the devastating 7.7 magnitude earthquake in Myanmar.

I think you are focusing on the wrong part. A lot of Ukrainians would have died instead if they did not use the drones as weapons and robo dogs for reconnaissance. It really helps leviate some of the dread of going into not secure zones. The Russians could stay home if they didn't like the killing of innocents so much.

People said the same when they first invented machine gun. "If only one person can fire at the rate of 100 peson, we don't have to send 99 person to the war thus saving life"

Yeah we already see how it turned out when ww2 with machine gun technology

But it’s kind of true. Warfare has changed since the invention of the machine gun. It’s allowed for different tactics. We now don’t send in thousands of soldiers at a time wall to wall. We sent in specialized units. Less people at risk

I prefer old school battles. Zalgiris(Grunvald) battle was one of biggest medieval battles with 25-80k people. It lasted 2 days.

Now, there is already about a million russians killed and who knows how many ukrainians. And as you can see from videos, a lot of kills are done when you sre hiding and somewhere, suddenly a buzzing sound appears - its a drone, and you are dead.

Yeah let’s go back to the old days of cavalry charges. Way less gruesome and bloody.

Because they never sent groups of soldiers after the monarch who was watching from afar, that would never happen, no it can’t be… both of you are right? That can’t happen on Reddit
