And by doing so, what has happened so far is the Russian spring offensive that we were expecting has failed to materialize.

So it's having a large impact on our ability to basically form up and plan operations.

and get through that drone line.

And even in some areas, the Ukrainians at the tactical level have been advancing.

So that's the kind of major innovation at the moment.

It favours the defender in general.

And yeah, the Russian spring offensive that we're all expecting as a big push hasn't materialised so far.

And then, as you said, the unmanned ground vehicle element is tying into that, especially in terms of holding defensive positions.

There's

There have been reports of like one automated heavy machine gun holding a position for over a month, you know.

And, of course, then similarly, these vehicles being used to attack certain positions.

But what I would say is the front line, as we know, it doesn't really exist.

You know, it's not like the First World War.

You're talking about small numbers of troops hiding in bunkers with beads being told what's going on around them by the drones.

And then if they have to come out of their positions only at the last minute, do they do so?

So what does that mean in terms of Russia's numerical advantage in terms of the kind of troops they can draw upon, even if those troops go to the front line reluctantly?

Are they no longer necessary?

Well, what you're seeing is the Ukrainians have decided that killing what the Russians have a lot of isn't really their center of gravity, what we call the thing with which you attack to stop them being able to continue operations.

Actually, much more vital is the logistics and the drone operators.

So by destroying those and the command and control nodes using the drones, they're slowing down their ability to be able to even launch attacks.
