The brief
The Ukraine War has entered a new phase, with both sides intensifying their efforts to control the skies. This shift comes as Russia, despite facing significant challenges, continues to demonstrate resilience.
The Atlantic Council attributes Ukraine's recent momentum to strategic advancements and international support. However, the New York Times focuses on the escalating aerial combat, noting that both nations are investing heavily in air defense systems and drone technology.
The Foreign Affairs and CEPA analyses present a contrasting view: Russia's prolonged engagement is driven by a mix of desperation and strategic calculation. Coverage does not yet specify how long this aerial focus will last or what tactical innovations might emerge.
