The difference is that unlike the French and Germans, the Ukrainians can't really reply. So it becomes a one-sided grind that risks few lives on the Russian side, while making progress on the overarching "demilitarization" war goal.

At the operational level, disabling electric infrastructure cuts enemy logistics mobility and threatens to weaponize waves of refugee immivaders westward.

At the strategic level, the slow speed prolongs their enemies' lock-in to economically and politically ruinous policies that widen societal fractures among their enemies.

The Russians appear to have the proper context for this approach. Tactical grind, operational disarticulation, strategic pin.

@bruce - apparently Dupuy’s Infantry as sensor was infantry finds the enemy, fixes, artillery/air destroys.

I would like to read what DuPuy wrote, all I can find are bios.

Did DuPuy say something about infantry being used as a sensor?
