The battlefield is showing some resemblance to World War I. Similar to the stasis of trench warfare. There would be a no mans land between opposing sides, and occasionally there were charges in which men would be mowed down by machine guns. The early tanks were built to overcome this.

Described.

Ukraine-drones defeating Russian tanks. Very expensive machines overwhelmed by cheap ones.

Actually, an eerily similar situation occurred during World War II.

War has a way of moving technology forward at speed. The aircraft we started WW2 with compared with the aircraft we finished with makes the point.
