I think it is more Ukraine than Russia that is causing the revolution in warfare.

At first during the second invasion of Ukraine by Russia when Russian troops tried to push to Kiev we saw how man pads destroyed tanks and convoys of vehicles. The Javelin, Karl Gustav and other hand held weapons proved Tanks were no longer invincible. The US Marine Corps recently abandoned its tanks.

Later in the war first Ukraine, then later Russia with more sophisticated (and foreign designed) drones started to use them as troop hunter/killer drones.

Then Ukraine has developed maritime drones to go after ships and bridges. This is not a Russian thing.

Russia has been working on long distance glide bombs that are changing air defense requirements.

The biggest change seems to be in the need for hunter killer drones that can bomb/mortar/grenade enemy troops and air defense weapons that can target and destroy such drones.
