Russia Adapts Battle Tactics in Response to Ukraine's Counteroffensive
TL;DR Summary
Russia spent at least seven months preparing for Ukraine's counteroffensive by readying reserves, artillery and aviation support, stockpiling ammunition and fuel, and procuring more drones. Russian forces also burrowed into the territory they occupy in southeast Ukraine, digging lines of trenches and erecting fortifications along the entire 900-mile-long front line. The massive network of defenses has weaknesses, but it is already slowing offensive operations and creating bottlenecks for the Ukrainian army, forcing it to try to break through on narrow paths, which allows Russia to regroup and aim more precisely.
