Ukraine’s Elite Forces Adapt Trench Attacks for Drone Warfare
TL;DR
Ukrainian special operators are updating trench-clearing tactics to cope with a drone-saturated front, emphasizing sky surveillance, counter-drone fire, and small-unit infiltration. Training now includes drone pilots and live-fire drills using pump-action shotguns against FPV drones, with four-person teams coordinating ground and airspace coverage as they move through trenches. The front line is described as a 'kill zone' spanning roughly 10–20 kilometers from the contact line, forcing continual adaptation to threats from above and below.
