Primarily designed for targeting infantry, the drone’s payload is capable of neutralizing enemy personnel over an area the size of a football field.

Now I'm in the Finnish reserves, and I'm starting to feel like those old officers in WWI must have felt like, watching new tech completely transform the battlefield.

Let's just say I used to be very comfortable with my war time posting. Now less so, perhaps, even when these are on our side.
