And one more follow-up. I realize that some of these things are incompatible with ways to counter other weapons. Ways to deal with taking artillery fire (where getting into a trench or at least going prone or staying in a lightly-armored vehicle may be a very good idea) may be a bad way to deal with a drone. And I assume that as doctrine and units develop, and maybe as artillery munitions become more-available, maybe we'll see an increasing level of "combined arms" attacks -- soldiers having to deal with concurrent threats from artillery and drones.

And sometimes, I've seen attacks from both drones and artillery.

But a lot of videos I've seen look to just be soldiers dealing with drones alone.
