I find this kind of warfare so disturbing. Nothing will make me empathize more with Russian soldiers than seeing cowardly weapons like these being used against them.
So how do you feel about artillery? You know where you just fire a shell from miles away and never even have to look at the people you're going to kill - or even verify that you're hitting the right person.
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.
