It would seem drones would also be very effective against known fixed positions, so controlling airspace will be vital. It looks like rain time in Ukraine as I look at the latest weather forecasts, so mud is certainly in the picture.
Winter doesn't stop activities by prepared and trained forces such as Sweden, Finland etc... who have competencies to pass on to Ukraine. But, Russia, continue to think that Winter is your friend, even as you fail to provide fuel, food and munitions to your troops in the theatre.
