Tbf Poland would be joining them this time around.

Last time Russia and Germany invaded Poland together. Presumably this would be Germany and Poland invading Russia.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 2 points 2 hours ago

Does that mean in 100 years it'll be Russia's turn to team up with Poland against Germany? Is that how this works now? Can't we just rock-paper-scissors best 2 of 3 instead?

They did last time too, just not quite as voluntarily

They're allowed to take out one German tank with light cavalry, for old time's sake.

You know...as the battlefield becomes ever more automated, there might be a very brief window where the winged hussars could make a comeback.

Let's say you have a battlefield riddled with smart drones. They have image recognition and immediately attack anything resembling a tank or other military asset. Do you think anyone bothered to program the drones to seek out and attack a unit outfit like 18th century Polish cavalry? A charge on horseback just might be able to ride completely undisturbed through the right kind of drone-controlled battlefield.

and you just fucking ruined what would have been the coolest thing ever by putting it in public!

THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED

COMING DOWN THEY TURNED THE TIDE

Ukranian drones are already equipped to target the latest Russian logistic vehicles, donkeys.

I didn't know this existed and you just made my life

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 1 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

They would be programmed to kill anything that moved just to be sure they get everything. They will be deployed like mine fields except the owners could disable them to move through the drone field.

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 12 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Do you want your drones to burn through their numbers attacking deer and birds? That's what happens if you set them to attack anything.

I can see the Onion headline: High-Tech Warfare not as simple as military genius on the internet thought

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 13 hours ago

The moment they are activated they'll just blow each other up. Could be fun to watch.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 13 hours ago

Okay well I'm just going to air blast gravel at them then.

Or you could just get a big block of lead and mount it on a remote controlled chassis and just drive it around. At 6 mi an hour.
