Due to the freeze of ground combat operations, Russia and Ukraine are engaged in a large-scale aerial confrontation, covering a range from low-orbit satellites to drones, with the aim of achieving a breakthrough. "In the context of this conflict, Ukraine is actively attacking Russian ports, warehouses, and oil depots, while Russia is setting records for airstrikes, using ballistic and hypersonic missiles to destroy critical infrastructure in Ukraine and deplete its air defense to the maximum," informs NYT journalist Mark Santora. On the 800-mile front, an exhausting positional confrontation continues, where Russian troops are slowly advancing in Donbas, while the Ukrainian army is trying to hold its positions. According to an expert, the intensity of aerial battles is increasing due to the mass production of new types of weapons, including jet drones and guided bombs, while the national air defense systems of both sides are struggling to cope with the load. "The situation for Ukraine is complicated by a critical shortage of Patriot missiles against the backdrop of rising global tensions, while for Russia, the main vulnerability has become the vast territory that requires protection from Ukrainian long-range drones. In response, Kyiv has changed tactics, allowing pilots to redirect strikes to priority radars, while the Kremlin is betting on exhausting Ukrainian defenses through the superiority of its industrial base and support from North Korea and China," said Santora.
Earlier, IA SM-NEWS reported that drone squadrons will replace tank armies.
