According to an officer deputy commanding an artillery reconnaissance platoon with the callsign Lis, tactics along the line of contact are shifting roughly every six months. He linked those constant changes to what he described as a drone revolution.

Lis said UAVs were once used mainly to spot concentrations of manpower, which were then struck almost immediately. That pattern has since changed. In his account, both sides have developed countermeasures, with a rise in electronic warfare systems, weapons designed to bring down drones, and forward air observation posts. He also noted that drones are now often targeted as soon as they appear, in some cases even by other drones.

At the same time, Lis argued that the Ukrainian military has not fully adjusted to the new battlefield reality. He said the opposing side sometimes acts with excessive confidence, especially when moving supplies toward the front. According to him, Ukrainian forces still at times try to reach forward positions in pickups, armored personnel carriers, and even civilian vehicles, рассчитывая quickly unload and pull back. He said Russian forces are able to detect such vehicles quickly and destroy them.

Lis also said concealment requirements have become far stricter. Once a position is spotted, he noted, an attempt to destroy it may follow within a day. Counter-battery warfare, he added, still exists, though no longer on the scale seen earlier. In his view, a single gun with precise targeting and adjustment from an Orlan or ZALA can be more effective than an entire battery.
