Summary
Russian forces have begun applying black-and-white zebra-stripe camouflage to their military trucks in Ukraine, according to pro-Russian military bloggers sharing images on Telegram. The camouflage is reportedly designed to confuse the automatic tracking systems and AI recognition software used by Ukrainian drones, making it harder for them to lock onto and target vehicles. This adaptation highlights the ongoing technological arms race in the conflict, where both sides constantly evolve tactics to counter drone warfare and AI-assisted targeting systems.
