I’m sure the average keyboard warrior will be able to engage in those tactics effectively if it comes to that. And I’m sure that wouldn’t just result in even worse devastation on a far greater scale.

Ukrainian forces are centrally organized, with material support and intelligence sharing from a coalition of western allies. They have military-grade hardware, even though the US has been trying to reduce their supply. The reduction of which has been shown to have resulted in tactical and strategic setbacks.
