I've seen it suggested that "turtle tanks" are an attempted attempt to make something useful out of a broken MBT or IFV -- one in which the main gun is broken, the turret is broken, etc by plating them over with anti-drone sheds and using them as improvized APCs.

One possibility for sure


This is good

Airburst rounds are interesting and we are in the early stages of seeing if we can build them into the game....NO promises though, too soon to say

We're now using drones to clear minefields laid by drones.

Russians are now testing "high speed" FPV drones capable of 150-250 MPH dive speeds.

The current generation of FPV drones are about 65-85 MPH dive speeds; making it possible to shoot them down with shotguns held by troops; this new generation of FPV drones will be too fast for the average person to plausibly shoot back at.

huge baba yaga drones used by the AFU now have laser guided ordnance.

What's gonna happen? Will drones make war obsolete, or will they make countries with a super high population become invincible, because a large workforce coupled with high tech will provide both, quantity and quality, or will they provide third world countries a means to become 1st class militaries? IMHO - World Wars may become obsolete, but that's what they said about WWI and look what happened. Though, they didn't have jets or missiles back then (or drones). My guess, paranoia will be so great that it will trigger a WWIII scenario, but then again, it might make everyone to scared to start anything. I guess only time will tell for sure.

One possibility is that jammers capable of frying most guidance systems will be stationed in large numbers near the battle area. lots of implication for all battlefield electronics.

Looks like we can recycle large portions of WW2 maps (with appropriate road+town upgrades) now that the battle has moved into Kursk.
