Why aren't they working the way they used to?
And so what we discovered was essentially that the Ukrainians have developed a very good operational template for how to attack the centers of gravity for how the Russians wage positional warfare.
And the strikes against logistics are part of it.
The exploitation of the lack of Starlink are part of it.
The parts that we had not been fully appreciating were the Ukrainian shaping efforts by killing Russian drone operators.
So you can have drones, but you don't have a drone capability if your launch points are suppressed or destroyed, or if your pilots are killed or suppressed or destroyed.
And so what the Ukrainians started doing in late 25,
And it accelerated throughout 2026 was to use electronic intelligence, to use ELIT to identify the launch points and the command points for these tactical drone squads that are attached with the regular Russian infantry units that provide that tactical level drone support at the front.
and they would hammer the heck out of them and find them and kill them.
And if you're smart about how you do this in space and time, you can actually make it such that if you're looking at a very narrow slot of the front line, maybe like a 20 or 30 kilometer exploitation zone that you're preparing, you can
Kill all the drone and enemy drone crews in the vicinity to create a temporal effect such that the Russians aren't able to fly their drones.
But then you simultaneously saturate the area with your own drone crews so that basically you have drone dominance at the tactical level.
The adversary has control.
relatively fewer drones, and then they support your mechanized maneuver.
And so you basically create this protective envelope around your mechanized force, again, at the tactical level, so that they can then be that maneuver fire support to support your infantry to go forward.
And that's what's been the interesting new tactic here, the new assignment tactic.
It's a combined arms approach that has been enabling some of these Ukrainian counterattacks that have been taking more terrain than what the Russians are getting, as you see in the news.
Yeah, it's happening, and it's really interesting, Mike.
The fact that we're talking about, like, will Russia fall back to compulsory military service as a future potentiality just goes to show how good the Russians are at hiding it.
So back in October of 2025, the Russians amended a federal law that regulates how military service works.
