Artillery, sniping etc. are different in that they're instantaneous. People on the receiving end of this drone bullshit have their deaths dragged out and are teased and toyed with for awhile before it happens.
A single shell is instantaneous, sure. But a barrage can last for hours or even days. If you're wounded by shrapnel you can suffer for the rest of your life.
The drones effectively puncture the fantasy of war, but it was always a fantasy.
