"Pyrrich Victory" = a short term tactical victory that precedes a strategic defeat.
Named after King Pyrrhus of Epirus, whose army suffered irreplaceable casualties in defeating the Romans at the Battle of Heraclea in 280 BC and the Battle of Asculum in 279 BC, during the Pyrrhic War. After the latter battle, Plutarch relates in a report by Dionysius:
"The armies separated; and, it is said, Pyrrhus replied to one that gave him joy of his victory that one other such victory would utterly undo him." — Plutarch, Life of Pyrrhus
Supplemental Reference: Ardennes Offensive or "Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein"
The drone attack managed to atrit aprox. 3% of Russia's total force. Accomplishing nothing that will have any effect on the inevitable outcome.
Meanwhile, the Russian army continues to advance, nearly unimpeded, almost 200 km², in 7 days.
