The reduced time between detection and engagement, driven by real-time drone surveillance and the high velocity of FPV attack drones, has created a hostile environment for traditional armored platforms on the battlefield.
This was an informative read, thank you. You would have thought these tactics would of seen an earlier deployment as the usage of electronics motorcycles wasn't unheard of during the later ends of the GWOT era. I remember talking about the concept prior to their larger scale deployment when I was in the legion.
It seems to me Mick Ryan rather doubts the future of 21st century dragoons - will they make it to the end of the decade? So it’s interesting to compare your perspective with his, IMHO.😊
Andre, we are not sure there's any real disagreement here. Our analysis focuses specifically on Russia's current use of dragoon tactics, a result of unique conditions and their decision to keep these units in the future. These are simply facts. Since we make no claims about the future role of dragoons in warfare as a whole, it's unclear what exactly there is to disagree with
A different perspective or a counterpoint are not contradictions or disagreements. But I’ll gladly change to “complement” if it suits you better 😅.
Re-reading your (very informative and well-researched) post, I still feel it credits the motorcycles with a little more future on the battlefield than Mick Ryan’s - your title probably contributes to that feeling.
Excellent report and analysis. As always, it's a good idea if combined effectively with other elements.
Yet due to Russia's consistent inability to 'combine' all it's resulting in are high losses and minimum gains.
Good 🤷🏼♂️. Let's hope they continue to fail 👍.
Thank you.

Interesting counterpoint: https://open.substack.com/pub/mickryan/p/not-all-adaptation-is-good
What's the counter-point?

Thanks for your nice work anyway!
