This fundamental otherness is perhaps the hardest concept for human science to integrate.

Ukraine's kill zone, where drones hunt humans

Russia's stalled full-scale invasion of Ukraine has created one of the deadliest places on Earth. Is its drone-dominated front line a glimpse into the future of warfare?
