The transparency on the battlefield created by technology is making traditional manoeuvres much more difficult, while opening up new opportunities for the use of robotic systems. These changes are reflected in the conflicts in Ukraine and Iran, and affect the future of military strategies.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\">\n<div class=\"summary-title\">Briefly about the main points<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Military conflicts in 2025 are the most active since 1946<\/li>\n<li>Drones and networked systems have a significant impact on combat tactics<\/li>\n<li>Ukraine uses unmanned vehicles to evacuate the wounded<\/li>\n<li>Military losses in Russia and Ukraine differ significantly<\/li>\n<li>Military experts predict the evolution of robotic warfare<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Technological revolution on the battlefield<\/h2>\n<p>The military conflicts of 2025 were the largest since the end of World War II, with 65 active state conflicts with a significant number of casualties recorded. Modern warfare is characterised by so-called tactical transparency, which is shaped by a combination of advanced sensors, precision fire, and networks that quickly transmit data from observation to target engagement.<\/p>\n<p>Drones have become a symbol of this change, combining surveillance and attack functions under the control of a single operator. An example is the Bayraktar TB2 drones, which first showed their effectiveness in Libya and later in Ukraine, where they partially deterred Russian troop breakthroughs. During the years of war in Ukraine, the number of types of <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/analitika\/nova-ppo-ukrainy-deshevshe-shvydshe-efektyvnishe\/\">drones<\/a> has increased, and they, together with artillery and other technologies, have created a deep zone of combat confrontation.<\/p>\n<h2>New roles for robots and unmanned systems<\/h2>\n<p>Today, drones perform not only combat missions, but also logistical ones: they deliver food and water, and evacuate the wounded using unmanned ground vehicles. Ukrainian troops conducted more than 24,000 such evacuation missions in the first months of 2026. At the same time, drones conduct reconnaissance and destroy enemy targets in first-person mode, significantly affecting the number of casualties, especially among the Russian military.<\/p>\n<p>Military experts argue that large-scale manoeuvre battles are currently impossible, as positional warfare using robotic systems and drones dominates. At the same time, drone countermeasures and electronic warfare technologies show that the balance of power may change.<\/p>\n<h2>Military strategies and preparations for new challenges<\/h2>\n<p>New technologies require updated tactics and training for the military. <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/world\/ukrayina-peremohla-na-morskykh-navchannjakh\/\">Military exercises<\/a> with the participation of Ukrainian drone operators in NATO have shown significant gaps in the training and equipment of Western armies. This underscores the need to adapt to the current conditions of warfare, where information networks and robotic systems play a key role.<\/p>\n<p>Despite significant investments in traditional military systems, many experts point to the risk of delaying the transition to new technologies, which are mainly based on unmanned platforms and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n<h2>The war against Iran as an example of a new military reality<\/h2>\n<p>\u0423 <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/world\/israel-strike-lebanon-us-first-casualties\/\">the US and Israeli war against Iran<\/a>, which have a much higher level of technology, destroyed more than 13,000 targets. However, Iran maintains a significant arsenal of missiles and drones, which allows it to launch counterattacks, in particular on enemy airfields and radars. This conflict demonstrates the limitations of even the most advanced aviation in achieving a quick victory.<\/p>\n<h2>Prospects and risks of future conflicts<\/h2>\n<p>Analysts note that future wars may be even more automated and fast-paced, involving robotic forces operating on machines and drones. At the same time, there are serious risks of misjudgement, especially in a potential conflict between major nuclear powers such as the United States, China and Russia.<\/p>\n<p>Despite technological advances, political leaders are often under the illusion that victory is easy. Modern warfare proves that even with state-of-the-art systems, strategic uncertainty and conflict complexity remain high.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0412\u0456\u0439\u043d\u0438 \u043e\u0441\u0442\u0430\u043d\u043d\u0456\u0445 \u0440\u043e\u043a\u0456\u0432 \u0434\u0435\u043c\u043e\u043d\u0441\u0442\u0440\u0443\u044e\u0442\u044c \u0440\u0430\u0434\u0438\u043a\u0430\u043b\u044c\u043d\u0456 \u0437\u043c\u0456\u043d\u0438 \u0443 \u0441\u043f\u043e\u0441\u043e\u0431\u0430\u0445 \u0432\u0435\u0434\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0431\u043e\u0439\u043e\u0432\u0438\u0445 \u0434\u0456\u0439, \u0441\u043f\u0440\u0438\u0447\u0438\u043d\u0435\u043d\u0456 \u0440\u043e\u0437\u0432\u0438\u0442\u043a\u043e\u043c \u0434\u0440\u043e\u043d\u0456\u0432, \u043c\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0436\u0435\u0432\u0438\u0445 \u0441\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0435\u043c \u0442\u0430 \u043d\u043e\u0432\u0438\u0445 \u0442\u0430\u043a\u0442\u0438\u043a. \u041f\u0440\u043e\u0437\u043e\u0440\u0456\u0441\u0442\u044c \u043d\u0430 \u043f\u043e\u043b\u0456 \u0431\u043e\u044e, \u0449\u043e \u0432\u0438\u043d\u0438\u043a\u043b\u0430 \u0437\u0430\u0432\u0434\u044f\u043a\u0438 \u0442\u0435\u0445\u043d\u043e\u043b\u043e\u0433\u0456\u044f\u043c, \u0441\u0443\u0442\u0442\u0454\u0432\u043e \u0443\u0441\u043a\u043b\u0430\u0434\u043d\u044e\u0454 \u0442\u0440\u0430\u0434\u0438\u0446\u0456\u0439\u043d\u0456 \u043c\u0430\u043d\u0435\u0432\u0440\u0438, \u0432\u043e\u0434\u043d\u043e\u0447\u0430\u0441 \u0432\u0456\u0434\u043a\u0440\u0438\u0432\u0430\u044e\u0447\u0438 \u043d\u043e\u0432\u0456 \u043c\u043e\u0436\u043b\u0438\u0432\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0456 \u0434\u043b\u044f \u0437\u0430\u0441\u0442\u043e\u0441\u0443\u0432\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0440\u043e\u0431\u043e\u0442\u0438\u0437\u043e\u0432\u0430\u043d\u0438\u0445 \u0441\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0435\u043c. \u0426\u0456 \u0437\u043c\u0456\u043d\u0438 \u0432\u0456\u0434\u043e\u0431\u0440\u0430\u0436\u0430\u044e\u0442\u044c\u0441\u044f \u043d\u0430 \u043a\u043e\u043d\u0444\u043b\u0456\u043a\u0442\u0430\u0445 \u0432 \u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0456 \u0442\u0430 \u0406\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0456, \u0430 \u0442\u0430\u043a\u043e\u0436 \u0432\u043f\u043b\u0438\u0432\u0430\u044e\u0442\u044c \u043d\u0430 \u043c\u0430\u0439\u0431\u0443\u0442\u043d\u0454 \u0432\u0456\u0439\u0441\u044c\u043a\u043e\u0432\u0438\u0445 \u0441\u0442\u0440\u0430\u0442\u0435\u0433\u0456\u0439.
