Ukraine actually uses Russian fighting tactics.. that's the way they trained and were equipped. They're also very poor, with a gdp per capita (before the war) of 1/3rd of Russia's. So it looks exactly the way these countries are equipped and trained to fight: lots of artillery, loss of life, trench warfare. Ukraine has neither the training nor equipment to do combined arms warfare. So I wouldn't necessarily assume that a war with NATO will look like the war in Ukraine. As far as drone defense, we already have KuRFS/Ku-720(mobile version)[0,1] radar to track drones/etc that works with a phalanx, 50-caliber guns, 30mm cannon, and coyote drones. We're also deploying a 50kw palletized laser (w/ KuRFS) with the DE MSHORAD program[2]. All of these programs predate the 2022 Ukraine invasion. The Coyote (designed at the start to take out small drones) first took flight in 2007[3]. 0. https://www.rtx.com/raytheon/what-we-do/integrated-air-and-missile-defense/kurfs https://www.rtx.com/raytheon/what-we-do/integrated-air-and-m... 1. https://www.rtx.com/raytheon/news/2021/10/11/rmd-proves-counter-uas-effectiveness https://www.rtx.com/raytheon/news/2021/10/11/rmd-proves-coun... 2. https://www.rtx.com/raytheon/what-we-do/integrated-air-and-missile-defense/lasers https://www.rtx.com/raytheon/what-we-do/integrated-air-and-m... 3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raytheon_Coyote https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raytheon_Coyote
