The era of rapid tank maneuvers is officially over. 🪦🛡️
An analysis by Die Zeit reveals that drone saturation has expanded the front’s contested “death zone” to a staggering 40 km deep, paralyzing traditional ground tactics.
The battlefield is now defined by:
Total Transparency: At least 10 reconnaissance & attack drones operate over every single square kilometer. Movement is suicide.
The €500 vs. €20M Equation: A mass-produced €500 FPV kamikaze drone routinely demolishes a €20M air defense system or main battle tank.
AI Terminal Guidance: Electronic jamming (EW) is losing its edge. Drones now use machine-vision auto-tracking to home in autonomously once locked, even if the pilot’s signal is completely severed.
Armored vehicles have vanished from the zero-line. The future of war is here, and it is a highly dispersed, AI-driven war of attrition. 🤖🎯 #MilitaryTech #UkraineWar #DroneWarfare #DieZeit

⚡️Russia may announce the mobilization of the population after the autumn parliamentary elections — Zelensky
I have seen in certain Russian sources that they could mobilize around 1.2 million men. This is enough to reinforce existing units and form new ones to launch new offensive operations (for example, in the Chernihiv region)
