But the Ukrainians are adapting by using machine guns with thermal screens and links to AI. The race is to decide who can invest smarter and faster to outwit the other. JL
Fermin Torrano reports in The Telegraph:
As Kyiv pushes for more Patriot missiles and advanced defence batteries, soldiers are doing what billion-pound systems cannot: reacting in real time to Moscow’s main threat before they reach Ukraine’s cities. Drones can alter course and speed mid-flight, making them harder to shoot down. “Everyone is adapting in their own way. Russians modified the fuel tanks design, the motors, or paint the Shaheds black. And we have had thermal screens mounted on our machine guns. Sooner or later, these battles will be fought entirely in the air. The war will be won by whoever invests smarter."
