Russians Establish “Drone Corridors” Through Ukrainian Kill Zones
Russia is implementing new strategies to navigate Ukrainian defenses by establishing 'drone corridors' through contested areas.

- ▪Russia is now using small teams of drone operators to infiltrate these areas instead of large-scale assaults.
- ▪Drone corridors are being established to enhance the operational capabilities of Russian forces in contested regions.
