It also shows how drones entirely change the battlefield tactics. It is no longer air superiority, it is drone superiority that decides the winner.

Here, the Ukranians can just hover from pit to pit and drop their bombs. The Russians seem to be completely at a loss on what to do. Maybe battlefield noise completely covers the drone noises as noone even looks into the sky to see what is hovering above them.

It almost make trenches feel like they are redundant, however without them you get sprayed with bullets, but even in the trench they seem to move so slow when some of the pipe bombs took a while to blow up. Damned if you do and damned if you don't scenario.

Russians are still in WW1 design stage. Make a zigzag trench and you're done, leaving open trenches without cover. In the 70s in the military I learned that good trenches have a "massive roof structure" withstanding even a direct hit from tanks (no drones in the 70s...). If you have the time and the trees to build it.  Russians are slow learners it seems. Even a tilted, strong wire mesh could have avoided that grenades can be dumped right into their trenches.
