“One is using cheap drones, which is they you know, they've been providing those to Russia to use in Ukraine.”
“On the one hand you're looking at Ukraine and say listen four years in they've lost 1.2 to 1.3 million men both severely wounded and dead. 30,000 35,000 a month casualties the Russians have taken in December and January.”
“The Russians have started putting those on drones and using those to send drones not the 10, 15 miles you can with a first person drone or a wire drone, but hundreds kilometers so you can attack things deep within the country. The Russians are using this to target things like government buildings and schools and playgrounds and malls and most famously of recently a moving train full of civilians.”
“What we've discovered in the last 96 hours is that the Russian forces in the area were completely dependent upon Starlink for communication among themselves. And that communication is functionally stopped.”
“Since the start of the war Russian forces have suffered approximately 1.2m casualties. More losses than any major power in any war since the second world war.”

“The second is that generally speaking though, the rates of those losses have been falling. Although it's worth noting there were a couple of exceptions to that trend with the big ones here being Russian fixedwing aircraft and Russian surface-to-air missile systems.”

“There's talk, for example, of the Russian military aiming for an unmanned systems force about 200,000 strong. The Russians might be talking about a drone force larger than the United States Marine Corps.”
“Offensive tactics on the Russian side have come to significantly rely on continuous small-cale infantry infiltration assaults. Small groups of a handful of Russian soldiers, either on foot or in a light vehicle like a motorcycle or a converted civilian car, attempting to go forward.”
“So I think it's likely that we will see Russia move towards more force mobilization over the coming year. And they will do that in an effort to try to make the war both more sustainable and also more affordable.”
