Ukraine War ☠ Footage and Updates ⚠ Day 172

Ukraine War News from August 14

• From the start of the invasion Ukraine’s military understood that to engage the Russians head on would be suicidal. Ukraine therefore deployed asymmetrical warfare tactics, sending small units to operate against soft targets in the Russian rear taking out their logistics, ammunition and food supplies. Battalion, brigade and regimental headquarters were hit with surgical artillery strikes, decapitating Russian command and control. The attack on Kyiv sputtered. Denied its own airpower, Ukraine was quick to integrate commercial off-the-shelf drones into its small units as artillery spotters and target designators. Where Russian vehicles presented themselves, Ukrainian ingenuity turned camera drones into remote-control bombers.
