Ukraine update:
Russia has hurled more missiles at particularly Kyiv and Ukraine over the past 48hrs than at any other time during the conflict as Putin tries desperately to continue his idea that the Ukrainians might surrender. All civilian targets. During the May 9 ceasefire, it looks like the Russians used this period to stock up. 25 killed when a missile hit an apartment block in Kyiv.
Speculation surrounds the point where the supplies of drones are exhausted.

However, Ukrainians special un-manned forces continue to multiply their efforts. Overnight (My 14th to 15th):

• Multiple drone strikes hit the remnants of Ryazan's oil industry. The 3rd largest refinery in Russia and it's still on fire. Apocalyptic scenes from the City of Ryazan.
  
  
  
  This was 5% of Russian oil refining. Hapless Russian air defence missile hits apartment block in defence of Ryazan.
• 
• Nice scoreboard. You would think an air base would have some form of air defence.
  
• More bingo board boxes ticked:
  
• There are screeds of compilation strike videos, in fact, I cannot keep up so I shall leave you with this image:

It does give the impression of desperation, in response to the lack of success (and reversals) of ground troops.

It's a slightly weird thought, but does the 'war by drone' that has developed during the war mean that the shape of war has changed forever now?

Couldn't resist, such is my addiction to watching Russian military targets getting wrecked.

I would say.
The arms race globally will be on drone capability. Also, it's easier for governments to enter conflict without boots on the ground. I don't think this is necessarily a good thing and I suspect that there will be a plethora of satellites deployed by all and sundry to assist in drone navigation. Star wars?
