About this listen

For centuries, line-of-sight fire was the basis for destruction in combat, and the foundations of tactics were built around ensuring the effectiveness of such fire. Now there is no need to see the enemy (target) directly in front of you, it can be seen theoretically from any distance and destroyed with the same high accuracy. The survivability of remote dispersed platforms for destruction from closed positions and their crews is much higher than any weapon for conducting line-of-sight fire. This revolutionizes the entire system of fire and fire destruction of troops, and in the combat operations in Ukraine, the revolutionary means of destruction are small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) - both loitering munitions and devices with the release of munitions and, finally, First Person View (FPV) drones.© 2025 Politics & Government World

  • The Drone Revolution is Fundamentally Changing Warfare and the Russian Army
    Apr 7 2025

    First of all, this is due to the almost total “transparency” of the battlefield, caused by the huge number of constantly deployed reconnaissance and surveillance assets, primarily small unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as a qualitative leap in the volume and speed of intelligence information transmitted, received and processed using these assets. The latter leap is provided by means of universal globally accessible network communications, starting with the “Starlink”. As a result, in the zone of such “transparency” (now primarily near the line of combat contact, which is growing more and more) any covert transfer, deployment, concentration and use of forces becomes, in essence, systemically impossible. Any concentration of units and subdivisions will become an immediate target for destruction, and the more significant the concentration, the more “noticeable” it will be, attracting all sorts of strike weapons at virtually any distance from the line of combat contact. This naturally forces the use of troops in small groups, subdivisions and individual vehicles, dispersing them as much as possible.
