Russia adapts military strategy to counter Ukraine's use of US ATACMS missiles

Russia is adapting its military strategy in response to Ukraine's use of U.S.-supplied ATACMS missiles. President Biden's approval of these long-range missiles marks a significant escalation, allowing Ukraine to target key Russian assets, which could shift the conflict's dynamics. To counter this threat, Russia is enhancing its air defense systems, including the S-400 and S-500, and may deploy them near critical infrastructure. Additionally, Russia is considering offensive measures against Ukraine's missile sites and command centers, while also increasing its reliance on electronic and cyber warfare. Russia has also revised its nuclear doctrine, lowering the threshold for nuclear retaliation in response to perceived threats. This adjustment reflects concerns over NATO's involvement and aims to deter aggression, as the conflict continues to test the effectiveness of Russian military technology.
