Use of drones is an innovation, very clever and lethal. War often does that, bring out new methods. The Civil War had telegraph, railroads, aerial observation, repeating firearms. World War I had machine guns, tanks, and chemical weapons, as well as aircraft and submarines. World War II had more of the same, including radar, jet aircraft, ballistic missiles, and atomic bombs. But drones are the standout in this war. I noticed that all the field armor had to be retrofitted with drone standoff cages. New things happen and must be responded to. What we would call electronic countermeasures, and the Russians call radioelectronic warfare, is probably more advanced as well, but not much remarked because it is such a specialized subject.
If battlefield images are all over 4chan and Telegram, I have to doubt that anyone is controlling it. That's just the modern age of prolific video.
