The Evolving Role Of Ukraine's Artillery In The Age Of Drones
The War Zone examines how Ukrainian artillery is adapting its tactics, targeting methods and employment doctrine in response to the pervasive drone environment on the modern battlefield. The analysis draws on operational evidence from the conflict to describe how artillery units are integrating drone reconnaissance and targeting data while simultaneously managing their own vulnerability to counter-battery drone strikes. The assessment has direct relevance for Western armies reviewing artillery doctrine and the role of fires in high-intensity peer conflict.
