their use of armored personnel carriers and even providing vehicles for basic infantry maneuver as one would expect them to do by the Russian and Soviet textbook. They're now using motorcycles and they're actually building out a tactical doctrine for motorcycle platoons, motorcycle battalions, or how many motorcycles should be in an infantry battalion, for example.

And there's a coherent table of equipment for how many ATVs, how many buggies, how many motorcycles should these tactical units have? And the concept of operations is this, Mike. Because a armored personnel carrier has a big signature and it moves relatively slowly than a drone, it's an easy target for a drone.

But if you could put a guy on a motorcycle, with two guys on a motorcycle, and if they can blitz a line very quickly, if they can simply get to a glintage or a field fortification, like a trench or something, then there's about a 50-50 chance that those Russian infantrymen can take the trench.

And so, what they're doing now is they're trying to use vehicles that enable less protection, but more speed to carry a fewer number of people, but in a dispersed manner. That is the Russian tactical innovation, which is interesting. Mixed success rate, but it's the bleeding edge.

And then for the Ukrainian side, for their own tactical innovations, they are currently working on how to have machine vision for drones. how to have it so that you no longer need to have a physical pilot that will take out the enemy vehicles and enemy targets.

They're working to develop drones that are trained on AI models so that they can identify, hey, this is what an enemy tank looks like, this is what an enemy vehicle looks like, and then have a drone in the terminal phase take out the enemy object. This already actually exists in part for drones in air defense. This is not just land warfare.

The Ukrainians are using quadcopter drone interceptors with light payloads to intercept Iranian Shahed drones that the Russians use to strike across Ukraine every night. And they've gotten to it by putting specialized sensors on these drones. They're able to have the drones partially lock onto the Iranian one-way attack drones, and then a
