🇺🇦❗️It is reported that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are currently developing tactics to counter this new Russian strategy. However, the details are classified.

Don't send the details to Hegseth!

It's simple, parallel attacks need parallel defenses. Strange Russia was using a serial strategy as it is very easy to intercept.

Easier said than done though. Gathering drones up for a mass attack is a lot easier than gathering up a mass of air defenses in the appropriate area, since the drones have much more mobility than the air defense.

It's also really weird that they have kept flying them at low altitude, considering how effective the Ukrainian machine gun teams have been at bringing them down. Then again, if they increase altitude, proper air defense systems like the Gepard will have a much larger engagement radius.

And the initiative lies with the attackers. They strike at a place and time of their own choosing. Anticipating this, which is needed for a proper reaction, is much more complicated.

Coordination is hard. Systems are non-ideal, which means to successfully coordinate your need to deal with a stupid number of stupid edge cases, most of which you only discover when you try it.

Can you invite me to the signal group😎

Can't the drones be shot down before they get near the target?

The British laser gun must be deployed en masse.

Ukraine just needs cheap Shahed interceptor drones. Ones that will cost less than the Shaheds themselves.

Carpet bombing.

I wonder if this tactic is in response to the Engles AB attack that destroyed 96 KH-101 cruise missiles. I note that Russia has not been including cruise missiles in their nightly attacks.

It's not as if they could miss, as civilian-filled cities aren't exactly small; it's just that there's too many to stop at once.

Hard to understand why it’s taken Russia so long to adopt this approach. Seems basic concentration of force.

mrjoel987.bsky.social•10 days ago

Well, the Russians are incompetent.
