On August 24, the Department of Defense announced it would be sending anti-drone weapons called VAMPIREs to Ukraine. The announcement of the VAMPIRE came in a larger, nearly $3 billion package of assistance from the United States to Ukraine as it fights against Russia’s invasion. The inclusion of VAMPIRE highlights the major role that drones are playing in the war, and the challenge of fighting against them without having specialized weapons.

I believe the whole Ukraine / Russia war will go on indefinitely . Much like that of Israel/Palestine.
That is , Russia would basically have little to hold back their attacks and bombings, while the Ukraine Army will have restrictions placed, some already in place of only interior defense and no cross border actions, as well as more to come. Sadly, a decree like that the Israelis are under-; tell the enemy where , when and how they will attack will also be put upon Ukrainian Forces/ government.
