I think countering aerial recon as you stated is going to be key, but so is maintaining a relative edge in all abilities robustly to call in long-range fires.

I think countering aerial recon as you stated is going to be key, but so is maintaining a relative edge in all abilities robustly to call in long-range fires. I think specifically with respect to this article and talking about defense vs offense, I think one interesting thing to consider is how this might interact with radio discipline/EW. Is you assume your opponent has very competent EW and monitoring equipment (all signs point to Russia being quite skilled here), then you definitely want to minimize how much you transmit. But if you're in a defensive position and you are under attack, then your opponent already has that location information on you. Then suddenly transmitting isn't as much as a risk. It means that units on the defensive might be able to get off one last squeal of high bandwidth information into their command net (assuming that they have enough observation capabilities anyways) and steer in fires more effectively.
