—“Russian Military Plans Swarms Of Lethal ‘Jihadi-Style’ Drones Carrying Explosives”— Peter Zeihan

Yeah, but I mean, what is the difference between lots of cluster bombs and lots of autonomous grenades except the ability to ‘wait?’

Well, the ability to wait around, fly indoors, etc is pretty useful.

The russian method is saturation with artillery first and always has been. Only brits and germans depend on maneuver.

This just provides portable mines, pursuit mines, and piloted grenades.

Artillery, then cleanup (this new tech), then tanks with infantry.

Nobody does land war like Russians.

I wrote about this in the 80’s and thought I might make a career out of it, but the tech wasn’t there yet. Mostly because of battery power and material weight.

We have the tech now so it’s just going to happen.

Land mines that can:
1. explode if touched or exhausted;
2. wait until they see an opportunity and still have energy
2. or hunt opportunity, until they conserve energy.
