On a side note, the video starts from “America want to buy thousands of drones to counter China as an opportunity for a game changing shift” - this is exactly what underdogs in every arms race ever said as they pushed some jeune ecole plans - and it was basically never right because those “new paradigms” were either cope from the start or the dominating opponent also quick catched the real shift and produced more and better of the new weapons. It’s pretty interesting that USA military adopt loser speech and think patterns.
Especially you can already notice many countries to be very excited by cheap and fairly simple drones successfully used against very expensive vehicles. For example Iran being actually on the forefront of that tech now and embracing it with eagerness (to be fair, Iran had keen interest in drone warfare for years by now, so it’s logical). Sure, in case of Russia it is effective because Russia have good military infrastructure, doctrine, logistics and support to base those on, but those still look like some measure of equalizer.

Exactly, if there’s some new innovation that’s actually effective then everyone will quickly adapt to it.

I agree, the drones Iran developed are a really good example of an innovation that’s being rapidly adopted now.
