Sounds like "No Mans Land" has been extended exponentially, making the front to big for conventional weapons, making Weapons of Mass Destruction a viable choice again. Sounds deadly, for both soldiers and civilians alike. It's like WWI all over again, but with high technology. Looks like SPWWIII is becoming more viable all the time. I don't know how practical a new title would be though. I say just extend the game beyond 2025, a simple solution for a complicated situation, at least until we figure out a better way to do it.

GPS guided bombs from standoff distances are playing a larger part:



Russians are starting to serially produce helicopter UAS:

Serial production of new unmanned Termit helicopters was shown in the Russian Federation - Defense Express

They can carry three laser-guided missiles and fire at a distance of up to six kilometers. The drone itself reaches a speed of 150 km/h and can stay in the air for up to six hours.

It is noted that drones were being developed even before the invasion of Ukraine, and at least three of them are at a high level of readiness.

Russia's PPSh Lab is starting to mass-produce its "Triton" counter-FPV system that can be mounted on tanks, vehicles and stationary targets; the backpack version is for assault ground troops - presumably that backpack can suppress FPV drone signals as well.

Ukraine is now placing UGVs into service

the ground drone "Karakurt" has appeared in the service of the Armed Forces of Ukraine , the "Engineering Corps" association, which is engaged in the development of equipment for our military.

The drone is good at overcoming trenches and earthen embankments. It was named after the most poisonous spider found in Ukraine - the karakurt. This ground drone was developed on the basis of a gyroboard. It can be made in 2 days with a team of 3-4 people. Now there are dozens of them on the front lines.

Russian sources write that the Armed Forces of 🇺🇦Ukraine, in addition to kamikaze aerial drones, are beginning to use remote-controlled ground drones. Mobile drones are maneuverable and silent. According to Russian soldiers, these drones have a heat sensor, as soon as they get close, the drone detonates

New weapon used by Ukraine per Russian report

A ground drone loaded with explosive to clear Russian trenches ahead of an assault

This one, unfortunately, did not work out as intended
