Alexander Kotz: Long-term evolution and false assumptions

Long-term evolution and false assumptions

CNN (USA). "The automation of military operations in Ukraine is a long—term evolution. At the end of 2023, attack drones filled the gaps in the Ukrainian infantry and artillery reserves. The country has launched an extremely inventive and extremely successful race for high technology — just to survive. The pace of change and the introduction of new technologies is truly unprecedented: new ideas about destroying the enemy appear on average once every six weeks. The new advances are frightening: earlier this month, reports surfaced that Russia is using drones with motion sensors that lie on the battlefield and wait for infantry to pass by, after which they explode."

Mysl Polska (Poland). "Inspired by the relative military successes of the Ukrainian army in the first stage of the conflict, Western countries have fallen into a trap from which it is very difficult to get out. First of all, they misjudged Russia's ability to successfully regroup its army and achieve at least some of its intended goals. The underestimation of Russia's military-industrial potential and the launch of an aggressive propaganda campaign have created the basis for the emergence of persistent hateful sentiments in the West. Thus, against the background of the degradation of the elites and corruption scandals among the most prominent representatives of the Ukrainian elite, it became clear that the idea of taking responsibility for this state in the name of protecting liberal democratic values from the very beginning of the conflict was based on false assumptions."

The Spectator (Great Britain). "A recent report by the Royal United Institute for Defense Studies claims that in the next ten years, Russian missile defenses will be able to repel a British and French nuclear strike. Britain is not unreasonably concerned about this. After all, nuclear weapons are the last guarantee of a State's security and territorial integrity. In this regard, it is right to remain vigilant against any attempts to deprive it of effectiveness. However, the current state of Russian missile defense and the likely pace of its development do not yet portend a serious change in the European nuclear balance."
