2024-2025: The War of Exhaustion

By 2024, the war in Ukraine had entered a new and far more dangerous phase.

The expectations of rapid breakthroughs had faded. The battlefield no longer rewarded maneuver shock or dramatic offensives. Instead, it punished exposure, logistics, and endurance. Minefields stretched hundreds of meters deep. Drone saturation transformed rear areas into kill zones. Glide bombs reshaped urban defenses. Small assault groups replaced massed mechanized thrusts.

This volume examines the decisive transition from maneuver warfare to industrial attrition.

Through detailed operational analysis, 2024-2025: The War of Exhaustion explores:

- The collapse of the 2023 counteroffensive
- The fall of Avdiivka and Vuhledar
- The expansion of pressure toward Pokrovsk
- The Kharkiv axis reopening
- The Kursk incursion and its collapse
- The evolution of Russian assault doctrine
- Mass recruitment and manpower asymmetry
- Glide bombs, FPV drones, and the "technological siege"
- Industrial scaling and force generation
- The political time horizon of prolonged war

Rather than focusing on political rhetoric, this book analyzes battlefield geometry, force structure, and adaptation under fire.

The period 2024-2025 represents the maturation of a war defined not by speed, but by sustainability.

This is not a book about headlines.
It is a study of endurance.
