The SVO is changing the rules: a revolution that politicians are ignoring

20 169 15

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.

    People used to laugh at the generals who prepared armies for the wars of the past. It's no longer funny. It seems the military and political leadership can't keep up with the changes on the battlefield.

      It seems the military-political leadership is not keeping up with the changes on the battlefield.

      On the contrary, it goes ahead!

      It used to be thought that a deep penetration of enemy defenses was possible either through a high concentration of artillery (up to 1000 guns per kilometer of front) or the use of tactical nuclear weapons. The former doesn't exist in such quantities, as the latter was invented in its place back in the 50s. The latter doesn't exist because officially there's no war.
      These changes on the battlefield are not keeping up with the advanced thinking of the leadership!

      In the past, people laughed at the generals who prepared armies for the wars of the past.

      We are currently engaged in a drone war, controlled by human operators and AI; there is no such thing as a classic war. Ukrainian UAV units are tasked with terrorizing Russian territory with UAV strikes. Territories have been mapped out, UAV types have been identified, and they are constantly carrying out strikes, sending new UAVs to replace those destroyed. Rather than a network operating in a specific area, a unified command system is evident, with a highly professional level of operations and a reliable supply system for UAV consumables.

    Unfortunately, we ourselves, or rather the decision-makers in the government, have escalated the situation to such a degree that St. Petersburg is now being shelled. It was perfectly possible not to turn our territory into a testing ground for new weapons and combat tactics for other countries, paying for it with the lives of our citizens. We simply needed to act decisively and consistently. Since they've declared, albeit a military offensive, hostilities nonetheless, we need to resolve everything completely on the battlefield—that is, fight for real, not wait and hope for negotiations and various agreements. It would be fine if there weren't any opportunities, but they exist and have existed before. The only thing missing was the necessary political will, and it's still not in sight. Our government is pinning its hopes on the "spirit of Anchorage." They could at least properly explain the essence of this "spirit." But since nothing has materialized in a whole year, perhaps it's time to admit that this "spirit" has evaporated and problems need to be addressed differently. The US has plenty of opportunities to force Zelenskyy to dance to its tune, but it's not happening. It's enough to launch an investigation into where the allocated funds went. I think Maduro would be a real sweetheart in the eyes of the Americans compared to Zelenskyy's team.

      All that was needed was decisive and consistent action. Since they'd declared combat operations, even if it was the Central Military District, everything had to be resolved on the battlefield, that is, a real fight had to be waged, not waiting and hoping for negotiations and agreements.

      This has always been clear to many, but not to those in large buildings with guards, but to those in and around the trenches. And now it's time to use nuclear weapons.

    Well, what speed?!
    For four years, the politicians and generals still haven't grasped the simple truth that this is no longer the SVO.

    ...changes the rules: a revolution that politicians are ignoring

    - it happened often.
    All these wars of WW1, WW2, the post-war period with the rapid development of machine guns, aviation, missiles, artillery, tanks... each new one was already different from the old one...

    Moreover, the military, being aware of the risks, is usually against wars... but the "tsars" - accustomed to being gods in their localities, and crushing everyone with a snap of their fingers - constantly get involved. There are plenty of examples.

    And under Imperialism, even more so. "If I don't conquer, I'll just nibble on it"—it's still the commoners who will shoot at each other... and the elite, even if they're "impoverished," can go to Dubai and buy tankers...

    In essence, the head of American diplomacy publicly confirmed that a settlement had proven more difficult than the White House had anticipated. "The stakes are high, the differences between the parties are deep, and the war has gone too far."

    They just couldn't hold back their laughter, so they made a mistake and had to admit that they were sculpting a hunchback.

    But advanced technologies give Ukrainians the chance 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.

    Looking at how quickly they implement everything, and our management is in the role of catching up, there could still be a ton of surprises, and God forbid, fatal ones.

    The US has plenty of opportunities to force Zelensky to dance to its oak tree, but it's not happening. It's enough to launch an investigation into where the allocated funds went.

    He's already dancing to their tune. The Maidan is the work of Nuland and the US team, and the drug addict is playing their game. All these negotiations and scandals in the White House are for suckers and for show. No one will rein him in, much less remove Zelensky, because he's their man and he's there to be their battering ram and destroy Russia.
    No one will let Russia out of this frying, we are on a tight hook and there is only one way out - to extinguish them and start with the top brass and factories in Europe and then everything else to the LBS.
    Over the past four and a half years, they've seen us trailing behind them, with nothing of our own to make a breakthrough—processors and all computer components are simply dependent on China. They see a real chance to crush us, and who knows when that will happen again.
    I wrote two days ago that, in addition to Canada, the Moldovans would also be joining the drone game, and today there's news from Sandu that he and Banderites are starting to produce UAVs. Maybe that hunchbacked Soros kid Pashinyan will announce the production of drones for Ukraine. So what, gas from Russia is cheap, Russia feeds children in schools, so go ahead and make your own UAVs and sell them to the West.
    Everything is just beginning and very difficult times await us.
    That's where my fantasies ended.

    What are the rules?
    Where is the revolution?
    Such a military-technical cooperation can only take place with the Russian Federation.
    The Israeli-US-Iranian military operation isn't very representative of your interests. Maybe you can find something similar somewhere in Africa. To have an equivalent to the Second World War, you need an equivalent to Russia's political power. Can you find one? A nationally oriented government always stands for preserving and protecting the interests of its people and its state.

    Oh, guys, looks like it's time to stock up on Russian-Ukrainian dictionaries. Back in April 22, I said that no matter how the war ends, the Kremlin has lost.

    It's strange that war correspondents and journalists understand this, but a Moscow old man surrounded by generals and highly paid analysts doesn't.

      How do we know what he understands or doesn't understand?
      Maybe it's high time for millions of ordinary citizens to understand something?

      There is no such thing in politics
      accidents. If something happens, it means it was meant to be that way.

    Congratulations, you've finally discovered America, or rather, their OODA cycle, which is used in management everywhere.
