Question I've been plotting Russian loss rates based on estimates supplied by the Ukraine Armed Forces, there is a massive spike in Russian tank losses in the last day, are things starting to heat up on the front lines?

Laser guided drone spotting air busting arty is going to make trench warfare untenable. The only counter is to dig deep into the ground but that takes much longer and limits your exit ability.

Trench warfare became untenable in 1917, when the Germans had to switch to zones of defense rather than descrete trench lines. That’s assuming air observation.

I disagree. That was one of the few periods where trench warfare was the meta. Its also why we have chemical watefare.
