The threefold surge in the number of Ukrainian drone attacks on targets inside Russia has revealed a whole new picture of the war. The Armed Forces of Ukraine skillfully use advanced drone technology to launch precision strikes from distant lands, posing a serious threat to Russia's critical infrastructure. This strategic shift not only reveals new trends in modern warfare, but also highlights the centrality of drones on the battlefield. 
According to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny, Ukraine's new strategy is aimed at avoiding falling into traditional "positional warfare" and instead striking with the help of drones and other cutting-edge technological equipment. This change in tactics not only increased the flexibility and efficiency of operations, but also reduced reliance on expensive missiles or manned aircraft. 
In order to implement this new strategy, Ukraine is increasing its investment in the manufacture of drones. In 2024, Ukraine plans to significantly increase the number of contracts with drone manufacturers, reports Ukraine**. Currently, Ukraine has been able to produce 62 different models of drones and is working to improve the range, payload and stealth performance of drones. Shockingly, a Ukrainian enterprise with only 20 employees is able to produce 3,000 drones a month and plans to increase production even further. 
However, this tactical shift in Ukraine is not without risk. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the number of intercepted Ukrainian drones has surged from 15 to 20 per day a year ago to 80 to 100 per day now. This suggests that Russia is strengthening its air defense to counter the threat of drones. The targets of Ukrainian drone strikes mainly include Russia's critical infrastructure, such as airports, energy companies and oil refineries. Such attacks are aimed at weakening Russia's economic power and trying to provoke panic in society. Military expert Vladimir Popov analyzes that Ukraine's interest in Western Russian energy enterprises is particularly strong, and today almost half of Russian oil and gas processing enterprises are within the range of Ukrainian drones.

This tactical change reveals a new trend in modern warfare: UAVs have become an important combat tool with a high degree of flexibility and precision. Ukraine's tactical change is not only a challenge to the way the war is conducted, but also a warning to the international community. In the future, drone technology will play a more important role on the battlefield, and how to deal with this new threat will also become an important issue for all countries to face.
