Russian forces adopt new pop-up ambush drone tactics to enhance warfare strategies

Russian forces are using new tactics involving pop-up ambush drones, which can lie in wait until a target approaches. This method combines reconnaissance and attack drones, allowing for surprise strikes with minimal warning. These ambush drones can remain dormant for hours, waiting for vehicles or personnel to come into view. They can be deployed near busy roads or strategic locations, making them difficult to detect until they launch an attack. Both Russian and Ukrainian forces are employing these tactics, which enhance the effectiveness of drone warfare. The ambush drones can operate alongside traditional minefields, creating a more complex battlefield environment.
