I suspect that in the lead post for this thread that what I was calling "little dog" is actually a variant of "Butch" in the attached video

Meet Butch, the latest in robotic surveillance

It'll be interesting to see how Butch materializes. Big Dog got dropped because it was too noisy, of all things.

Interesting to see that Butch seems to take a different angle than Big Dog though. A smaller, more mobile platform with less payload than Big Dog. I suppose it makes it more versatile.

and now much more difficult as the russians have used UAS as supporting spotters

once they add designators to those UAS then you have another layer of difficulty in getting away on time

and as you say, the area of effect for using dispersed shells/bomblets just adds another layer of hurt

Russia is not alone here. Even non-state actors are using UAVs and MLRS. And the further we go, the easier this sort of thing will be.

ISIS have been using UAS as either weapons carriers, as kamikaze tools and as spotters for more than 2 years. Its really only just got attention in the public arena recently

I suspect that prev protected military reports on the attacks have now filtered out
