General (Ret) Harrel's previous book entitled The Russian Invasion of Ukraine February - December 2022, described the initial invasion identifying the units and weapons on the battlefield with military precision. Now he continues the story of Ukrainian resistance in the face of overwhelming odds. The author knowledgeably reports on twenty - first century mechanized warfare and how drones and unmanned aerial vehicles (U a Vs) have evolved to dominate the tactical operational and strategic levels of war. The year 2023 saw the dawn of drone warfare as combatants on both sides of the conflict at first tinkered with the use of civilian hobby - type machines but then having had great success rushed forward to design purchase (often with crowd funding) and deploy drones through all domains of the battlefield. Drones performed reconnaissance targeting for artillery and direct attacks seeking identifying and striking targets not only on the battlefield but in the Black Sea and deep inside Mother Russia. As the fighting raged Russia successfully continued its worldwide cyber campaign to influence elections divide allies and undercut support for Ukraine. The Pyrrhic Russian victories at Bakhmut and Avdviika were offset by Ukrainian victories in the Black Sea after its failed counteroffensive in the Summer of 2023. Finland and Sweden joined NATO while US support was stymied and delayed by internal politics. NATO clearly assumed its place as the bastion of Western freedom as the war continued into 2024.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: The Russian - Ukrainian War 2023 A Second Year Of Hell And The Dawn Of Drone Warfare\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Harrel John S\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Pen \u0026amp; Sword Books Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781036101633\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 240 Pages, 16 Colour Illustrations, 20 Mono Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 2\/13\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Military History","brand":"Harrel John S","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51333484544305,"sku":"IN-G-9781036101633","price":31.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781036101633.jpg?v=1746891169","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781036101633-the-russian-ukrainian-war-2023-a-second-year-of-hell-and-the-dawn-of-drone-warfare","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
