Experiments with new drones and their release increase, and therefore, raids on the territory of the Russian Federation will only grow. "We see a stable evolution of both the purchase of commercial drones and their modifications, and our own developments of Ukraine. Australian cardboard drones and drones of Ukrainian companies are actively used. We now see a kind of culmination of more than annual efforts and development," the expert said.
However, it notes that it is very important to maintain the pace of production and purchase of new drones so that the strikes in Russia will become more massive each time. If Ukraine is able to continue the "shock" tempo and then increase the number of drones for each attack, then the losses caused to the occupiers will only increase, as well as the number of destroyed goals.
"Ukraine is forcing Russia to take more and more its aircraft from the front, to take it from key objects to try to cover objects in and near cities," says Marseille Plichta. However, this will still not help the Russians, he says. It is simply impossible to close such a huge territory that is in Russia - no air defense forces will not be enough.
"I think the front of 1200 kilometers, and this does not even cover the potential ways of approach from the Black Sea and Belarus, it is impossible to cover even with 500-600 air defense units. Still, there will be places that Ukraine will be able to hit drones,"-the expert notes . As for the situation on the front next year, according to Marseille, we are expected to grow into an active confrontation in the battle of drones.
Ukraine has increased the release and development of drones, but Russia has moved the production of Iranian UAV to its territory and also develops its drones. "I think that the tactics and strategy that Ukraine will use will be determined by the scale and pace of production," the expert says. "However, the same can be said about Russia. In any case, we will definitely see much more punches on each side.
