It would also be hybrid, and tend to be a modern fight at the start [of the battle], Andi added.

According to Andi, the Russia-Ukraine war has actually demonstrated how far today s military technology has actually advanced, especially the air-centric ones, as seen in making use of drones and hypersonic rockets.
