Abstract
Operation Spider’s Web exemplifies Ukraine’s innovative use of AI-powered drones in asymmetric warfare, signalling a broader shift in modern conflict. The semi-autonomous attack, launched via modified trucks and operated through Russia’s own telecom networks, demonstrates how agility and technological integration now rival industrial scale in determining battlefield outcomes. As unmanned systems become more accessible and effective, militaries must adapt through resilience, countermeasures, and doctrinal innovation to stay ahead in an evolving strategic landscape. This article will thoroughly analyse and de-construct operation Spider Web and Ukraine’s Asymmetric capability
