The West draws 3 lessons from the Russia-Ukraine conflict
(Baonghean.vn) - The Russia-Ukraine conflict has left many profound lessons about the principles of war for decades to come.

The Economist magazine (UK) commented that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine signals the birth of a new era of high-tech warfare, and offers three lessons about the principles of war for decades to come.
The first lesson is that war is becoming more transparent, it is increasingly difficult to conceal combat information, and the outcome of battles will increasingly depend on intelligence.
“The priorities will be to detect enemies before they detect you; blind and disable electronic warfare systems, whether drones or satellites; and disrupt communications and data transmission through cyber attacks,” The Economist said.
As a result, the military will have to develop new forms of combat, based on mobility, dispersion, camouflage and diversion.
The Russia-Ukraine conflict has arguably taught important lessons for the space and cyber domains. The conflict in Ukraine could be called the first commercial space war. Whether or not that is accurate, there is no doubt that private space companies have played a huge role in the conflict, from helping Ukrainian forces interact to providing imagery that has shaped media coverage of the conflict around the world.
Second, even in an age of rapidly developing artificial intelligence, conflicts will still require a large number of personnel.
Third, the war highlights the growing importance of drones to modern warfare on land, at sea, and in the air. Indeed, in a sense, manned aircraft have given way to remotely piloted aircraft in the battle for air control over Ukraine.
