Breakthrough of drones
The army of drones and its effective management will help destroy the enemy and save the lives of our defenders. However, it is not even the number of drones that is decisive, but their proper organisation, planning and support.
Yurii Butusov, editor-in-chief of Censor.NET, listed 10 important points that will ensure this:
1. 2023 was the last year of the war, when both sides tried to break through the front by concentrating masses of infantry, tanks and artillery.
2. All elements of a defence breakthrough: isolation of the combat area, counter-battery, demining, mining, infiltration, and the destruction of small and single targets should be carried out primarily by drones with the help of other types of weapons.
3. Drones are no longer a means of supplying troops. It is the troops that must become the means of supporting the drones, aircraft, tanks, infantry, artillery - all of these must be attached to the drones.
4. Drones should become the weapon of choice for every unit - from infantry and sappers to the commander of the military-oriented units, and each unit and higher should have positions of drone and anti-drone operators of their own level.
5. Large armies should be subordinated in their actions to the capabilities of drones and anti-drone systems, and human tactics should be tied to drone tactics at all levels.
6. Drones and anti-drones are one and the same and should be used in an integrated manner, developed and trained together.
7. Great generals will not be able to achieve victory unless they start looking at the battlefield through the eyes of a drone and anti-drone operator.
8. Drones and anti-drone systems should become a new branch of the military, as technological changes occur on a monthly basis, a system that responds to the challenges of the future is needed.
9. The number is not decisive. The winner will be the one who is better at organising, providing, planning, using and managing drones and anti-drone systems.
10. In order to destroy enemy armies and save the lives of our people, we need to learn how to control an army of drones.
