Deep dives
Ukrainian Advances in Warfare
Ukrainians have increasingly displayed creativity in utilizing both imported NATO weapons and their own innovations to strike Russian targets farther from their borders. Recent attacks have successfully targeted significant assets, including a Russian strategic bomber and a key oil refinery, demonstrating a shift in the conflict's dynamics. Notably, the destruction of multiple S-400 air defense systems—perceived as one of the world's most advanced—has severely diminished Russia's defensive capabilities. With approximately 20% of these systems compromised, Ukraine is strategically positioning itself to enhance its air power and reduce the efficacy of Russian air strikes during its counter-offensives.
