This is the definition of asymmetrical warfare, but the funny thing is that Russia is adopting guerrilla tactics on an inferior army in order to keep the war cost-effective.
In the same time, the Ukraine is wasting billions of dollars of Western equipment for basically nothing, and it’s killing its youth in a brother war with zero chances of success.

As Russia’s invasion enters its 17th month, Ukrainian forces say Moscow is ramping up its use of low-cost suicide drones that are capable of destroying equipment many times their value and not easy to defend against.
The Lancet drone, an angular grey tube with two sets of four wings, has been an increasing threat on Ukraine’s frontlines in recent months, according to Ukrainian solders.
Videos posted by pro-Russian social media channels over the last month appear to show Lancet drones damaging or destroying Ukraine’s valuable Western-donated equipment, such as a Leopard 2 tank and a Caesar self-propelled howitzer.
