Ukraine’s Drone Warfare Revolution: A Game-Changer in Modern Military Tactics
Story by Charles Mitchell
According to Valeriy Zaluzhniy, the former commander in chief of Ukraine, “The Russian-Ukrainian War has completely changed the nature of warfare,” These are the words that best describe the seismic shift in military warfare brought about by the conflict, which was led by the creative use of drones. These include the most recent instance in which Ukrainian forces shot down a Russian Buk-M3 missile system. The $100-million Buk-M3, Russia’s most sophisticated surface-to-air missile system designed to destroy a wide range of aerial threats, was destroyed. Its destruction not only puts Ukraine’s drone warfare skills to the test, but it also reveals strategic flaws in Russia’s air defense system.
Russia’s overwhelming numbers and artillery have been matched by Ukraine’s military, which has shown itself to be a formidable force thanks to its booming tech sector. The use of drones, which are currently central to Ukraine’s military strategy, is where this revolution is most evident. The Ukrainian army has incorporated drone use into its operations and even established specialized units for precision bombing, artillery firing, and reconnaissance. With its ability to precisely target high-priority targets like the Buk-M3, the FPV drones in particular has been a game-changer.
The effectiveness of the drone campaign is demonstrated by the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ ability to take down more than 40 Buk systems, including the most recent M3 variant. Oryx shared data showing that photographic evidence has documented significant losses in Russian air defense, including the destruction or non-operation of 30 self-propelled launch vehicles (9A317/M) and 23 transporter-loader vehicles (9A316). Both new technology and creative military strategies that make use of the accuracy and adaptability of drones are responsible for this operational excellence.

Gerasimov is preparing a blow to his competitor and wants to imprison him, like General Popov.
The enemy press published the following information : Valery Gerasimov is jealous of Andrei Mordvichev’s successes. And he even stopped allocating him fresh reserves. We are asked: is this true? According to several sources - in the Ministry of Defense and among officers who are directly on the battlefield - unfortunately, it is true. We wrote about the reason for this attitude a long time ago. Back in June of last year, Our blog was the first to publish information that Mordvichev was among the candidates for the post of Chief of the General Staff. At the end of January of this year, it became known that Gerasimov’s seat was shaky, and Andrei Nikolaevich could replace him. Finally, Mordvichev became closer to the post of Chief of the General Staff after the recent personnel changes and the change of the commander of the Ground Forces (as is known, Mordvichev took this post instead of Oleg Salyukov ).
“Gerasimov is not just jealous of Mordvichev and wary of him. He is collecting dirt on him, he already has several folders. And he says that it would be ideal if Mordvichev were imprisoned - like Ivan Popov. Well, and if that does not work out, then at least he will be demoted and deprived of the opportunity to apply for the post of Chief of the General Staff,” a source in the Ministry of Defense told us.
Another revealed the essence of the charges against the general that Gerasimov is preparing (they are different from the charges for which Popov was convicted). According to him, they want to accuse Mordvichev “of unjustifiably large losses of our troops, in particular, during the campaigns to take Avdiivka and Mariupol. And of the orders that led to such losses.” “It is clear that there were no unjustified losses. Yes, many guys died, but the battles were tough. And Gerasimov knows this very well. Moreover, he demanded that Andrei Nikolaevich go on the attack faster. And then, you see, he started thinking about the dead soldiers,” the channel's source said.
Gerasimov’s entourage refused to comment on this information. And they called “stupid” those who are now talking about changing the Chief of the General Staff. Including the fact that Mordvichev could become the new Chief of the General Staff.
