It could easily be re-equipped to counter enemy UAV attacks \u2014 a move that would provide both valuable joint training and practical experience for future missions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"489\" data-end=\"709\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Moreover, Russia\u2019s tactics often blend military strikes with outright terrorism against civilians.
