Russian Forces Use Weather to Breach Ukrainian Defenses

Russian forces have exploited poor weather conditions, specifically dense fog and rain, to launch mechanized assaults against Ukrainian defenses near Novopavlivka. The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reported that these tactics have revealed vulnerabilities in Ukraine's drone-based defense systems, prompting calls for a greater reliance on traditional weaponry. Recent geolocation footage shows Ukrainian troops engaging Russian armored vehicles amid these assaults.
