Last week I heard a Ukrainian saying that you can no longer fight in the open. If you don't have the cover of buildings, your time is very short. It is becoming impossible to defend anything outside of towns and cities. One of Ukraine's famous drone units uses drones with 20km + fiber reels. A mistake the world made when this invasion started was that they let it go on for far too long, there was a window of opportunity to throw some serious support behind Ukraine, but it never really materialized for Ukraine. It's led to developments that have changed warfare forever and not in a good way. Today there was a video of a drone that had anti-drone capabilities. It took evasive action on its own to avoid being taken down. It is insane how things are changing there and I don't think the West is keeping up with the times.
Israel fought a few thousand poorly trained and poorly armed guys, the outcome was predictable. How would they fare if an enemy could deploy 10k drones per day at them indefinitely? Or send 100's of drones with 5kg warheads nightly at civilian targets for months at a time, probably not well...no one could.
Ukraine is a sandbox that everyone is watching with a lot of interest, and the longer it goes, the more interesting it will get (see Syria, Gaza, Yemen, etc.).

The lesson I got is that there is no justice just strength
Justice comes from solidarity. The weak banding together against the strong.
That means if you want justice you have to participate in getting it because tomorrow it will be your own weakness that's taken advantage of.
The core problem preventing achieving justice is the collective action problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_action_problem
The collective action problem is the strong's greatest tool for keeping themselves from being held to justice.
