In the face of intense battlefield pressure, both Russia and Ukraine are continuously learning to improve existing weapons and develop new ones at a pace that surpasses the norm to maintain their edge on the battlefield. The pride of the Russian Air Force, satellite-guided glide bombs, once caused significant headaches and heavy losses for the Ukrainian forces. However, the operational effectiveness of these glide bombs has significantly decreased in recent times.
There was a time when the Russian military relied on a large number of glide bombs to implement a “bomb-first” tactic, initially striking Ukrainian frontline fortifications before launching attacks with infantry. Using this tactic, the Russian military captured the eastern fortress city of Avdiivka and advanced 40 kilometers towards Pokrovsk. However, Ukraine is now rendering these bombs inaccurate by utilizing advanced electronic jamming technology.
Both the Russian and Ukrainian armies heavily rely on drones, with annual production exceeding millions on both sides, with the majority being first-person view (FPV) drones that can be utilized as precision-guided bombs. In response to increasingly severe electromagnetic interference, the Russian military took the lead in developing and implementing fiber-optic drones. Fiber-optic drones do not rely on radio waves for control but transmit signals through thin fiber optic cables, providing them with greater survivability on battlefields with high levels of electromagnetic interference.
While improving drones, both Russia and Ukraine are constantly refining drone tactics.
