only tactics you had in 4 years were suicidal infantry charges without air cover
Mass infantry charges stopped in 2023.
Since 2024 armored columns largely disappeared.
In 2025, it is infiltration by small groups (2-8) of light infantry employing motorcycles, electric scooters, and buggies. This is how the Ukrainian front is being cracked now.
With no dust clouds, loud rumbling noises, or simply without large numbers - it leaves much less time for the Ukrainian FPV operators to react before contact is made. Also, hitting a guy on a motorcycle, is much harder than hitting a lumbering 45 ton vehicle.

Proof that it works, is that the Ukrainians are copying us. They are also now training "Mad Max" assault teams which arrive in battle on motorcycles. Just as they are copying our "bbq grills", after laughing at us for installing "cope" cages.
Nearly every single thing we've done, that they initially laughed at, they are now copying.
Stop trying to make out that it's some kind of science
If it's not a science, then why do places like the Institute for the Study of War, or the Royal United Services Institute, or the RAND Corporation, or the Carnegie Endowment for Peace, write quarterly manuscripts running hundreds of pages long dissecting Russian operational art?
If it's not a science - then why does the frontline currently look like just one long series of cauldrons? Ukraine has several cities that are currently in semi encirclement. And even though they've seen exactly how it works - on their own skin - they seemingly are unable to fix the issue. Every few months, some new Ukrainian city comes under risk of encirclement from two flanks.
They see the map, they understand the movements, and the allocation of forces, and the intent - and they are still not able to do anything about it.
When you know everything (and the Americans and Europeans fill in the gaps for them), and are still not able to do anything about it - that's a good sign you are up against some scientific effort, rather than some haphazard, back of the napkin planning.
