I've been telling people that Ukraine has created and led the biggest revolution in warfare since stealth aircraft and maybe even the aircraft carrier.
One thing that surprises me - and perhaps it is just news media not keeping up - is that Ukraine seems to have been slow to adopt the obvious strategy of targeting Russia's logistical rail network. We are only now seeing them target trains, rail bridges and signal systems, which is perfectly logical considering Russians rely heavily on them for military supply. Take Kursk for example. As Ukraine withdrew from there I would have thought that they would destroy every rail bridge in the occupied area that feeds the Eastern front further south. Then there is the Kerch Bridge: they may not be able to destroy that yet, but they can surely and repeatedly disrupt rail access over it.
I was thinking about this very thing yesterday. I read an article about Russia having success with armored trains and how the tracks are its biggest weakness. There’s an old saying that says, “Where the Russian boot goes, the rails follow.”
