Yeah, I agree. WW2 massively pushed weapons and tactics forward. So did WW1, the American Civil War, the French Revolution and so forth. I don't think it undermines Shaggy's position, though, which I think was that the Ukraine conflict has jumped tech forward rather than that previous conflicts didn't
I wasn't trying to say SH position was wrong. My comment was, it's a hard comparison. WWII certainly "jumped tech forward" in multiple fields. Radar, Rocketry and the bomb. It sort of depends on how you want to measure the advancements. By speed, volume.

Now I'm probably going to dig myself a deeper hole. lol

How has the Ukraine war "jumped tech forward" by any large amount? It seems to me the technology their using isn't new. It seems they have expanded the uses to that technology and added functionality. They have found more and more ways to use that technology. What technology is revolutionary about their drones?

SH seems to know far more than me about the current situation, maybe I just haven't heard or read about it.
