Escalation in Drone Tactics

The Perun Group’s footage indicates a growing size and effectiveness of massed First Person View (FPV) drone units. These unmanned aircraft played a pivotal role in halting the Kremlin’s assault, showcasing an increasing reliance on innovative drone tactics by Ukrainian forces.

Videos released by the Ukrainian military reveal the Russian daylight attack grinding to a halt after striking a minefield. Subsequent Ukrainian artillery fire, including cluster munitions, forced Russian troops to abandon their shattered vehicles, compelling them to continue the advance on foot. Hobby drones relentlessly pursued, dropping grenades on running soldiers and causing catastrophic fires on armoured vehicles.

Rising Casualties and Authenticity Confirmation

Estimates from Open-Source Intelligence (Osint) analysts suggest substantial Russian losses, with 5-10 tanks, 10-20 armoured fighting vehicles, and 100-120 men killed or seriously wounded daily in the Novomykhailivka battlefield alone. Multiple sources, including the Perun Group, the 79th Separate Air Assault Brigade, and independent Ukrainian media, confirm the authenticity of the images. Similar scenes unfolded on Jan. 21 and Jan. 25, further highlighting the severity of the clashes.

Evidence is mounting that as the Kremlin shifts to the offensive, Ukrainian resistance, coupled with drone tactics, is proving formidable. Well-armed columns approaching Ukrainian lines are frequently halted by mines, artillery, or adverse terrain. This leaves soldiers vulnerable to punishing attacks by drone swarms, showcasing a shift in the dynamics of modern warfare.

Drone Surge

An analytical paper by tochnyi.info reveals a significant increase in drone use, with Ukrainian small drone operators launching 533 FPV strikes against Russian troops or combat vehicles in less than four weeks in January. The eastern Donbas city of Avdiivka sector has become a focal point, witnessing the most intense use of hobby drones. Despite challenges, Ukrainian drone operators maintain an impressive success rate, hitting targets in one out of four attempted attacks.

In the war’s southern sector near Kherson, Ukrainian Marines, buoyed by volunteer financing, have bolstered their drone capabilities. High-profile drone organizer Robert Brovi’s recent collection appeal generated $800,000 weekly, providing attack drones and advanced electronic warfare equipment. Ukrainian drone pilots operating in the narrow Kherson bridgehead achieve remarkable results, destroying Russian combat vehicles and intercepting attack drones.

Russian Response and Future Plans

A pro-Kremlin channel reported a Russian response to Ukrainian drones with artificial intelligence, underscoring the evolving nature of drone warfare. Brovi advocates for strengthening Ukrainian drone teams in the Kherson sector, aiming to raise funds for more electronic warfare equipment and thousands of additional drones. As Ukrainian capabilities outpace Russian efforts, calls arise for official government involvement.

Leading Ukrainian war reporter Andriy Tsaplienko emphasizes the need for government participation, stating that Ukraine’s drone warfare advantage is currently fueled by volunteers. Analysts, including Ishaan Tharoor in a Washington Post column, predict stagnation in Ukraine’s fight against Russia without significant Western military assistance. As Ukraine grapples with evolving challenges, the role of advanced drone technology remains a crucial determinant in the conflict’s outcome.

A Glimpse into Ukrainian Drone Capabilities

A recent drone video released by Ukraine’s army general staff, recorded by the 60th Mechanized Infantry Brigade “Inhulets,” showcases a Ukrainian octocopter in night operations. Equipped with thermal sights, this agricultural aircraft, purchased through crowd-sourcing, effectively locates and destroys people and vehicles attempting to hide in wooded areas. The engagement likely occurred in the north-eastern Kupyansk sector during a 60th Brigade counterattack.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of the Ukraine-Russia conflict, the strategic deployment of drones continues to redefine the contours of warfare, presenting both challenges and opportunities for the parties involved.
