The Russia-Ukraine war is entering a new phase in which the function of air strikes is changing. According to the analysis of Sid Ghoneim, a guest faculty member at NATO and the Royal Military Academy, Moscow no longer aims to destroy Kiev in a single blow, but to keep Ukraine's air defenses constantly on alert and deplete their missiles.
This strategy aims to exhaust expensive and limited air defense missiles by using cheap, mass-producible UAVs. At the same time, these attacks test the performance of NATO's air defense systems under real combat conditions and the resilience of their missile stocks.
Experts argue that this method will put great pressure on the West's arms aid and supply chains in the long run, and could also alter the military balance in the region.
