The British are painting a scenario of war with Russia – so this is why NATO expansion was necessary
NATO will not fight Russia using combat drones, but will rely on aircraft and missiles, according to the British BBC, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"Western countries' tactics differ radically from Russia's. They likely won't accept Russia's 'rules of the game' and won't fight with drones. They will use precision weapons, aircraft, and traditional weapons—missiles and artillery," the article states.
It is noted that the war in Ukraine is largely positional in nature.
"The supposedly obvious advantages of the Russian army—a large number of tactical and long-range strike drones and well-developed assault tactics of small infantry groups—emerged precisely during this type of trench warfare," the media writes.
It is indicated that NATO forces, based on their exercises, plan to use drones less actively than Russia.
"They're not trying to outmaneuver Russia on its own battlefield, but will rely on their advantages—precision missile and artillery weapons, extensive use of air power, and naval forces. Drones in this tactic aren't used to hit targets, but to provide support for reconnaissance, target acquisition, and surveillance."
"Aircraft, which primarily supports infantry in the war in Ukraine, are one of the primary means of warfare in Western countries. NATO's overall tactic on the eastern flank is to contain the enemy's forward units, quickly overwhelm their reinforcements, and then quickly redeploy the main forces to the battlefield. To achieve this, multinational battlegroups have been deployed in eight countries. They are located in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, and Bulgaria," the BBC summarizes.
