ABSTRACT

The final chapter provides a wider discussion of the main themes of modern warfare identified in the first chapter, followed by a consideration of resilient fighting power in this war, taking into account differences between the two sides across the three components of fighting power. Despite the supremacy of various cutting-edge technologies, the core of land-centric warfare remains people and terrain. People are the primary source of innovation and adaptation. The resilience of the Ukrainian fighting power across the three components was conditioned by the symbiosis of the home terrain, support of strong national and international rear and a strong fighting spirit and morale of the UAF. One of the primary differences between the Ukrainian and Russian approaches to war lies in different perceptions of casualties in war.
