It is necessary to switch mobile groups to anti-aircraft drones, modernise small anti-aircraft artillery with ballistic computers, night channels, and sew it all into a single network. There is still time for this.
In the coming weeks, the Russians should try to attack our strongholds in the south to ease the pressure on the railway. Or we will continue to knock out trains in the depths.
The increase in Patriot batteries by a third is an important strategic supply. There will be more ambushes on Russian planes, more intercepted missiles and more opportunities to protect rear cities from terror.
The enemy is advancing, and we must undermine its ability to make rapid breakthroughs, as it did near Selydove last year, in order to survive in a war of attrition. British drones will help us achieve this.
