Electronic Weapons: The New Frontier in Ukraine
The West has numerous valuable lessons to learn from this situation
The Russian military has encountered numerous setbacks in its expansive conflict with Ukraine, stemming from a range of strategic and tactical missteps. These include overextending their forces across too many fronts, resulting in the dilution of their elite battalions, lack of precision weapons and they were proven time and again to be tactically inferior to the Ukrainian armed forces.
On top of this, they’ve faced challenges with rigid air support tactics and ineffective artillery strategies. A critical flaw has been their inadequate logistical planning, ill-prepared for the prolonged and intense nature of the conflict. It was only after they lost a lot of occupied land to Ukraine and the frontline’s became more clearly defined the Russian army managed to hold things together.
It is important to recognize areas where the Russian forces have shown effectiveness, particularly in understanding potential areas of improvement for the Ukrainian military. Notably, the Russian electronic-warfare units and their engineering teams, responsible for constructing defensive structures, have demonstrated notable competence.
