    Ukraine’s lost on the ground, but now have unlimited drones to make up for the lack of manpower.

    They are compensating for a lack of manpower with superior drone capabilities.

    Framing that as “lost on the ground” is some serious mental gymnastics.

    Not only have they not “lost on the ground”, they have now gained the upper hand on the ground.

      This is serious cope.

      If cheap drones could win the war, then all Russia needs are a fleet of cheap drones to counter this advantage. How can they achieve victory without manpower to hold territory?

      They attack with drones, declare temporary victory until Russia destroys their robots and then they’re back to square one, only more in debt to NATO. Not exactly a plan for victory.
