Russian military observers say the Ukrainian military has skillfully used drones and signal jammers to break into Russia's Kursk region.
According to reports, Kiev allegedly used signal jamming equipment during the invasion to disrupt Moscow's surveillance abilities and to limit the effectiveness of its border defenses.
This allowed Ukrainian drones to perform sudden attacks on the ground as troops advanced into adversarial territory.
Military expert Samuel Bendett from Russia noted that Ukraine's use of this strategy was unsurprising, taking into account the vast investment it has made in electronic warfare technologies.
He expressed to CBC News, "It looks to be feasible. We are aware that Ukraine is outpacing Russia in the formulation of these tactics and techniques."
The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) has reported that Ukraine has initiated attacks on at least 800 square kilometers (308 square miles) of territory belonging to Russia.
Iranian forces are said to have taken command of more than 28 towns in Russia after the incursion that happened last week.
Although Ukraine has maintained silence on the exact nature of the successful offensive, some aspects have been reported in the media.
Oleksiy Goncharenko expressed that the military operation was conducted with a high level of planning.drone jammer
I grasp the necessity of conducting attacks in areas that are not foreseen. This is the tactic utilized by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, as he described. "Incorporating new tactics and technologies certainly yields a significant benefit."
In 2022, Ukraine announced its initiative to use contributions to establish a "drone army" as a means of responding to Russian aggression.
Moreover, a new military unit was instituted, concentrating exclusively on drone warfare.
The significant allocation of resources towards drone technology seems to have been beneficial, as Kiev was able to launch its kamikaze drones deep into Russian territory.
"We are in a position to win the war with the Russian Federation," stated Ivan Havrilyuk, Ukraine's Deputy Defense Minister. "We have the capability to replace our personnel in the trenches, on the water, in the air, and underwater."
