    It depends what kind of war. Drone warfare is great if the opposition is a non-state actor or a weak state where obliterating them at a distance and letting someone else deal with the clean up is on the table. Against a state on relatively equal footing that has the capacity to deal with drones and would require a proper occupation in order to defeat, it’s not that useful.

    That’s what happened in Ukraine, a lot of the weaponry the U.S. sent over that was good at taking out ISIS didn’t fare so well against the proper Russian army.
