1/ More problems with the Russian IT workforce - a Russian media publication describes "catastrophic lack of experienced specialists," noting that some companies spent up to 6 months looking for key hires. Image
2/ "Some Russian IT companies are ready to hire specialists without specialized education, as long as they have the necessary knowledge and skills. Those who are willing to pay good money for an IT specialist fill a vacancy three times faster."
3/ "Russian IT companies are in dire need of "classical" programmers, as well as those who have mastered web programming languages. Back in 2022, knowledge and experience in PHP skills could ensure a monthly income of up to 500,000 rubles ($6100)."
4/ "Of all Russian companies that currently have open IT vacancies, 61% cannot find a suitable specialist for a long time. 19% of employers have difficulty finding programmers, 16% - web programmers, 14% - mobile application developers."
5/ Reasons for that are obvious: "Tens of thousands of IT workers left at the start of the Ukraine invasion, many more left in the fall of 2022 to escape mobilization. In 2023, the situation may be aggravated by a bill on electronic draft summons and a ban on leaving Russia for… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

1/ THREAD. Russian military's Armeijski Sbornik magazine recently published a review of military tactics that work for Ukrainian forces, don't work for and should be avoided by the Russian military, and advice on going forward. Few main points are below. Image
2/ "Ukrainian military has widespread use of ambushes, which are usually arranged in bushes near hollows, near forest glades, edges, near roads, clearings and paths passing through ravines, and around turns along the routes of Russian military advancement (ambush action time 5-10… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
3/ "Ukrainian use of artillery at long ranges (up to 30 km) with fire guidance and adjustment with the help of UAVs; constant rotation and regrouping of units to maintain mobile defense;"

1/ Russian Telegram channels are now discussing FPV drone evolution, especially in light of counter-EW defenses. One pro-Kremlin channel concluded that "drones will change in the coming years, but will remain in one form or another as loitering munition, kamikazes and scouts."
2/ "The principle UAV application will change - the drone will not be controlled by the operator, it will not be associated with him. Accordingly, the connection with the operator will be impossible to mute or disrupt by electronic warfare."
3/ How so? Because Artificial Intelligence will solve this problem. For example, a large reconnaissance drone will fly at a sufficient height and observe the line of contact, and as soon as enemy equipment is noticed, a kamikaze drone will fly to this target from the drone."

1/ Russian Telegrams continue to express concern about Ukrainian offensive involving drones. On pro-Kremlin channel, Rybar, posted the following: "Ukraine military is integrating new tech into the realities of combat operations. First..."
2/ "...there were (DJI) Mavics with a grenade drop system, then there were Chinese Mugin drones and converted Soviet "Strizh" (Tu-141), and now FPV drones with first-person control. We can say that the Ukrainian preparation for activation on the front line is almost completed."
3/ "During March'23, FPV drones were transported to the Ukrainian forward positions, along with the necessary equipment. The Ukrainian offensive will most likely begin in the next week or two. And this attack..."

1/ Multiple Russian Telegram channels are posting an apparent summary of a Ukrainian analysis of how Russian military uses Lancet-1/3 loitering drones. Among supposed Lancet strengths is a modern guidance systems and use against moving objects at a distance of up to 60 km.
2/ Other strengths include Lancet's small size, relative quietness, and composite construction that makes them extremely difficult targets for radar detection. Weakness - a low flight speed of up to 100 km/h and a small warhead that is ineffective against armored targets.
3/ Moreover, Lancet's 30-40 min flight time "was recognized as sufficient to support Russian ground units at the tactical level. However, the Ukrainian command believes that at the moment Lancets are used only by SOF and mobile recon groups, which limits the overall RF infantry…

1/ THREAD on where the Russian forces stand on quadcopters and FPV drones, how to deal with such threats and the ways forward, if any - from a pro-Kremlin Telegram channel. Main points below.

2/ "At the beginning of the war, we were curious to hear that the ranks of the Ukraine Armed Forces, even in the most separate anti-tank artillery battalions, there were full-time UAV operators with full-time reconnaissance drones."
3/ "While the vile-looking experts were spewing paid nonsense from Russian TV, the adversary was introducing advanced experience with using drones, at the systemic level. And February-March 2022 was an unpleasant surprise for our troops, largely due to reconnaissance drones."

1/ Since the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Russian forces lacked enough tactical drones that were (and still are) eventually procured by volunteers. It appeared that the Russian MOD has no way to send enough quadcopters to the front. However…
2/ …a Russian “Romanov Light”Telegram channel just published an interview with a soldier who claimed it’s now possible to request and get a quadcopter from the MOD. The points are in his lengthy interview. t.me/dva_majors/125…
3/ The interviewed soldiers said it took him "about a week" to get a light DJI Mavic quadcopter. He noted that the MOD warehouses have all manner of DJI drones like Mavic, Matrice 30T, Enterprise and other models.
