The latest devastating use of Iskander Ballistic Missiles against Ukraine on Palm Sunday is clear proof that President Putin is not changing the strategy that he laid out three years ago in his so-called “Special Operation”.
Since the free people of Ukraine are not giving up the gallant defence of their country and the British and European leaders are remaining steadfast in their “Support from the touch-line”, it remains to be seen what effects the US will have on the War. The US envoy’s clumsy words this week have exposed a worrying lack of understanding and resolve. No previous conflict can be used as an exact peace model for this war, so it is not helpful to compare the current situation to what happened in Germany after World War II.
The application of technology may not have changed the character of war, but it certainly has changed the way modern wars are fought. Cruise missiles, Satellites and Drones, and the use of Mobile Telephones and the Electro Magnetic Spectrum has made it easy for politicians in capital cities to play as armchair generals, but they have equally made it much tougher for the ordinary soldiers in the trenches.
