　　The large-scale attack of drones has strategic and political intentions.

　　Special commentator Song XiaojunWe have seen the mutual attack of drones between Russia and Ukraine. One common feature is that they are relatively large in scale and last for a long time, and they are all aimed at strategic or political targets. In other words, the two sides are currently in a relatively deep war of attrition. During this deep war of attrition, using a relatively low cost, such as drones, to attack each other’s deep strategic goals or political goals is more likely to reflect the war will and political will to persist in the war of attrition.

　　"Unmanned Aircraft Warfare" or Play a More Important Role in the Russian-Ukrainian Battlefield

　　Special commentator Song XiaojunAt this time, the largest drone attack between Russia and Ukraine occurred. It does have a great background, that is, the results of the US presidential election. In another 70 days or so, the newly appointed US President Trump may have a greater impact on the prospect of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. On the whole, he wants to end the conflict quickly. Assuming this, everyone has an expectation to negotiate the next bargaining scene. In the process of bargaining, behind it is the embodiment of this kind of war will and political will on the battlefield, which is the best choice to fight the war of attrition and protracted war.
