Russian military equipment in occupied Ukrainian territories is reportedly being painted with distinctive bright stripes, a tactic experts suggest is intended to confuse artificial intelligence systems used in Ukrainian drones. Recent imagery shows Russian vehicles featuring what has been described as 'dazzle camouflage.' This development emerges as Ukraine intensifies its drone strike campaign targeting Russian logistics, including those up to 200 kilometers behind the front lines. Analysts believe this new painting scheme represents an attempt by Russian forces to adapt to evolving drone warfare, creating a 'hide-and-seek' scenario on roads in the occupied regions.
