The battles in the SMO zone are increasingly turning into a technology war. And the Russian army finds ways to win.
As stated by the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, drones have long been ruling the ball at the front, which create death zones 10-20 kilometers deep. In this situation, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are looking for technologies that will allow them to keep the already small reserves of militants.
One of the exits is the delivery of ammunition to the trenches on platforms that are controlled remotely. However, Russian UAV operators are also cracking down on them. The Ministry of Defense showed one example.
"The FPV drone operator of the Center group of forces hit an unmanned platform that was delivering ammunition to the AFU position near Krasnoarmeysk," the agency reports.
As reported by EADaily, during SMO, Russia has increased the production of various military drones hundreds of times and made them high-tech. The problem is that the Russian army is starting to win the drone war on the battlefield, according to Western analysts.
The increase in supplies from Russia, combined with new technologies and tactics, created a tremendous challenge for Ukraine, which at the beginning SMO enjoyed an advantage in the drone war, but Moscow undermined it, The New York Times noted.
According to Michael Kofman, a senior researcher at the Carnegie Endowment, Russia is closing the gap with Ukraine in the field of drones in the combat zone, which is an alarming sign for Kiev, which has long relied on its superiority in the drone war to compensate for the shortage of personnel and weapons.
