You know…as the battlefield becomes ever more automated, there might be a very brief window where the winged hussars could make a comeback.
Let’s say you have a battlefield riddled with smart drones. They have image recognition and immediately attack anything resembling a tank or other military asset. Do you think anyone bothered to program the drones to seek out and attack a unit outfit like 18th century Polish cavalry? A charge on horseback just might be able to ride completely undisturbed through the right kind of drone-controlled battlefield.
They would be programmed to kill anything that moved just to be sure they get everything. They will be deployed like mine fields except the owners could disable them to move through the drone field.
Tbf Poland would be joining them this time around.
They did last time too, just not quite as voluntarily
They’re allowed to take out one German tank with light cavalry, for old time’s sake.

THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED
Ukranian drones are already equipped to target the latest Russian logistic vehicles, donkeys.

Okay well I’m just going to air blast gravel at them then.
Or you could just get a big block of lead and mount it on a remote controlled chassis and just drive it around. At 6 mi an hour.
Do you want your drones to burn through their numbers attacking deer and birds? That’s what happens if you set them to attack anything.
The moment they are activated they’ll just blow each other up. Could be fun to watch.
