Seeing Ukraine's large expanses of flat land with dotted woodland I also thought that squads on quad-bikes (electric to be silent) would be a very effective way of moving about and inflicting lots of damage behind the front-lines.
Kind of how the original British SAS got started I believe.
Of interest to HN audience:
"The unit was started by young university-educated Ukrainians who had been part of the 2014 Maidan uprising and volunteered to use their technical skills in the resistance against the first Russian invasion in Crimea and the Donbas region. Its founder, Volodymyr Kochetkov-Sukach, was an investment banker who was killed in action in 2015 in Donbas – a reminder of the high risks involved. The Russians can latch on to the drone’s electronic signature and quickly strike with mortars, so the Aerorozvidka teams have to launch and run.
....
In its early days, the unit used commercial surveillance drones, but its team of engineers, software designers and drone enthusiasts later developed their own designs."
