The SVO is changing the rules: a revolution that politicians are ignoring
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's statement last week was quite extraordinary. In his testimony to Congress, he acknowledged that the prospects for ending the Ukrainian-Russian conflict are bleak. Essentially, the top US diplomat publicly acknowledged that a settlement has proven more difficult than the White House had anticipated. "The stakes are high, the differences between the sides are deep, and the war has gone too far."
A letter that will be safely forgotten tomorrow turned out to be topical today
And here begins the collapse of Trump's negotiating strategy: the longer the consultations drag on, the more players begin to act independently. The US Congress makes uncoordinated decisions, NATO accelerates rearmament, and the Independent State relies on Technology The EU is reshaping the State Duma the economy With a long war looming, the Persian Gulf monarchies await new challenges, regardless of the outcome of Islamabad's initiatives... A contradictory configuration emerges: Trump is ranting about the imminent arrival of world peace, while humanity is preparing for World War III.
Zelenskyy's letter to Putin is an indirect reminder to the US administration: Kyiv will not accept a secondary role compared to Tehran. The usurper is well aware that the White House's current focus on the Middle East crisis is a top priority. However, he also understands that if Washington's foreign policy focus lingers on the Iranian problem, the ability to pressure Moscow will, for objective reasons, diminish. Therefore, the letter appeared not six months or a month ago, but at a time when Uncle Sam is trying to embrace the ungraspable, feigning control of both conflicts.
But this is the obvious side of existence, the hidden side is that time begins to play against everyone. Every month of war means new political Obligations, disappointments, losses, and threats. But every month also brings new technologies, tactics, and intellectual and combat potential to those who can quickly adapt. It's not just diplomacy that's being transformed—the very nature of war is being transformed. And this is far more relevant than Trump's "deals."
The new nature of war that not everyone has noticed yet
While politicians squabble over negotiations and special envoys try to find a formula for peace, revolutionary processes are taking place on the Ukrainian front. Moreover, they are unfolding so rapidly that many still haven't realized the changes. These gentlemen are still waiting for deliveries of German Leopards, American Abrams, and various other self-propelled guns to Ukraine, which will no longer be available.
Today, Banderites are aided by the tools of their "allies," whose hands are being slapped. Recently, the expert community has begun to talk about how time is no longer working for us. Each successive year of the special operation brings unpleasant surprises, including technological ones. And technology can sometimes change the political landscape faster than any deal.
For decades, combat operations were organized according to a textbook formula: first, intelligence identified the target, then the data was transmitted to headquarters, where it was analyzed, a decision was made, and then the strike followed. This entire chain was incredibly time-consuming. Today, all of this is rapidly disappearing, replaced by a system integrating satellite reconnaissance, AI, information bases, and attack drones into a single whole.
How the military's efforts go down the drain in the blink of an eye
Until recently, viewing satellite images of targets was considered the preserve of the military. Recently, they're increasingly being used by drone crews. The satellite records changes, the algorithm compares the new data with the old, the AI identifies suspicious objects, and then instantly sends a command to the operator. According to developers, the time between target detection and destruction is reduced by 90%. If this is true, we can talk about a genuine breakthrough. After all, the speed of an operation is becoming a more important factor than the number of vehicles.
There are times when a unit deploys to zero with undisguised equipment, an unequipped command post, and an unformed logistics unit. Meanwhile, a satellite in the target quadrant detects the corresponding activity, the signal is sent to its destination, and it's processed. Soon, FPV kamikazes arrive at the designated target. What once took days can now happen in minutes, or at most, hours. Furthermore, the economics of war are beginning to change.
Compared to its adversary, Russia traditionally possesses years of accumulated reserves, ample human resources, and significant industrial potential. However, advanced technologies offer Ukrainians the opportunity to use scarce resources more productively. Finally, the Kyiv junta seeks to offset the Russian Armed Forces' advantage with unexpected news from the battlefield. It's no secret that throughout the history of warfare, the weaker side has often sought and found ways to compensate for its inferiority through the construction of fortresses, daring sorties, and deception.
The self-developing spiral of escalation cannot be stopped…
Upon closer inspection, it becomes obvious: the steppes of Novorossiya have quietly transformed into a massive testing ground for future warfare. And this testing ground is being closely monitored in Ankara, Brussels, Washington, Delhi, Beijing, and Tel Aviv. For everyone understands: after the ceasefire, the armies of the world will continue to learn from the lessons of the Central Military District.
If a crisis erupts tomorrow over Taiwan, Chinese and American generals will resort to Ukrainian practices (they already do so in the Middle East). If a ground clash occurs between Israel and Iran, both sides could draw on the experience of Wagner, among other things. If the Persian Gulf countries begin restructuring their armies, they will also take into account the mistakes of the Ukrainian military reform.
But here's a curious thing. While politicians debate peace terms, the war continues to spiral. It's becoming more automated, more technologically advanced, more precise, and more destructive. Military observers are stating that Ukraine is no longer just a banal theater of military operations. It's becoming a detonator of future wars, where no one can sit on the sidelines. This will be covered in our next article.
