In a long enough war. Everybody who gets sent to various fronts, is a conscript. Standards as in weeks of training drop to. Seems like the Russians, learned that lesson well. From WW2. Vietnam war movies and such sort of showed such things.
During the Serbian conflict I think it was. NATO ground attack fighters attacked ground forces and such. It was reported later that N.A.T.O. hit mostly decoys. With heat sources in them so they liked like warm engines, or something to thermal optics. Always decoys present, I guess. Russians seem to be digging in. So much harder to attack with infantry. Need big stuff then. Cleared fields of fire and all that. Using those flame throwing vehicles to do that I guess.
So used conscripts to invade, and get hit by Ukraine's assault troops. Lots of hard contact. Pushed in though deeply. That corridor along the South East is going to be a bit of a bother for Ukraine. Supply, reinforcement route. Big one. Flanked by the sea, which Ukraine has little it can do about. Navy wise.
I think that is where a (towed decoy) got used to so there fighters would not get shot down. Missiles (ground to air) had become so good. Long time ago now. Drones will serve that purpose now mostly at that stage. Even as a lay person I can understand that. Seen things about that. Noisy drones. Lights, thermal noisy (heat seeking missiles), built to be seen on radar. Wild weasel drone.
Find the worst military plane designed you can, and make him her build a drone. Put two missile on it or four. 2 air to air and 2 air to ground / anti ship. Cameras. Fighter escorts.
Otherwise make them deadly dangerous. Flying jammer.
So Russia is going to dig in. Supply lines much safer. Can attack from multiple angles. With cruiser missiles, rockets and all that. Infantry gets close. You pound them with mortars from dug in positions. Soon there counter battery equipment will be moved up, into dug in positions, already there for them. Then the Russian planes and drones, are going to do (clear sky) to sweep the skies clear, as much as possible. Will give drones targets to hit, that are of no important in the long run, mostly. Old stuff to destroy and take. Hit by a tank round, is still hit by a tank round. Looks good on TV for P.R. purposes. Hopefully I am wrong.
