Longest Range Wildberries Strike Yet: Yekaterinburg, Nearly 1,800km from Border!
Suchomimus
Ukraine har angrebet et Wildberries-lager i Jekaterinburg, cirka 1.800 km fra den ukrainske grænse, hvilket gør det til det hidtil længste angreb på et sådant mål. Lageret, der er over 158.000 kvadratmeter stort og beskæftiger 7.000 mennesker, blev ramt og tog ild, men branden spredte sig tilsyneladende ikke så voldsomt som ved tidligere angreb på lignende anlæg. Videooptagelser viser røg stige op fra anlægget, og man kan høre sporadisk skyderi fra sikkerhedsvagter, der forgæves forsøgte at nedskyde dronen. Videoskaberen vurderer, at angrebet var delvist vellykket – lageret blev beskadiget, men sandsynligvis ikke fuldstændig ødelagt.

RUSSIAN WILDBERRIES LOST $16 ВІLLION! Sweden ships RUSSIAN VESSEL straight to UKRAINE
UATV English
Ukraine's long-range drone campaign struck Russia's Ryazan oil refinery for the sixth time, while also hitting multiple Wildberries warehouse facilities, causing estimated losses of over $16 billion needed for recovery and a 25% drop in the company's turnover. Sweden's Supreme Court approved the transfer of a seized Russian shadow fleet vessel to Ukraine, setting a legal precedent for holding Russia accountable for sanctions evasion and war crimes. Russia has begun deploying a North Korean missile unit in the Voronezh region, equipped with KN-23 and KN-24 ballistic missiles, deepening military cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang — a partnership that gives North Korea real combat experience while helping Russia conserve its own missile stockpiles. A North Korean ballistic missile strike on a residential home near Kryvyi Rih killed five members of a single family, including three children, with five more children still missing.

ANOTHER Russian General (TWO TODAY)
Professor Gerdes Explains 🇺🇦
On August 6th, 2026, Russian state media quietly confirmed the deaths of two generals — Lieutenant General Igor Yerosalimov and Major General Polkhotnuk — both linked to an explosion at a Moscow birthday party for the Russian Aerospace Forces Commander. Meanwhile, a car belonging to a Russian FPV drone manufacturer was destroyed and the CEO of a pro-war Telegram channel was targeted, suggesting a broader pattern of attacks on key Russian military-industrial figures. On the Ukrainian side, defense firm Firepoint is racing to develop the low-cost Freya ballistic missile interceptor with 13 European partners, aiming for first interception by mid-2027, while U.S. Patriot and THAAD interceptor stocks are reported dangerously depleted after the Iran conflict. The video also covers Zelensky's upcoming visit to Serbia, corruption allegations against Ukraine's former U.S. ambassador, and U.S. midterm polling showing an 88% chance of Democrats retaking the House.

Update from Ukraine | Wow! Russia Lost 2 Generals in Moscow! This is Total Madness
Denys Davydov
Two Russian generals, including Lieutenant General Igor Yerusalimov, were reportedly killed in an explosion at a Moscow restaurant during a birthday celebration on August 1, with at least three people confirmed dead and 21 injured. Russia is attempting to suppress information about the incident, but details have leaked online, and Ukrainian intelligence indicates a second, unidentified major general may have also died. In related news, Putin announced significant changes to the Russian military command structure, including the creation of a separate drone forces branch, while Gerasimov remains in place despite widespread criticism. Additionally, Ukraine continued large-scale drone strikes on Russian territory and occupied regions, including hitting a Tu-95 bomber in Engels and targeting Russian logistics networks, while Russian losses in July exceeded 40,000 wounded and killed — the highest monthly toll of the year.

Ukraine’s 40-Day Strike Campaign Is Over—Phase Two Has Already Begun
Professor Gerdes Explains 🇺🇦
Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) completed a 40-day strike campaign against Russian military-industrial targets, conducting over 100 successful strikes on facilities including air defense systems, oil refineries, command posts, and shadow fleet vessels. President Zelensky has now approved a new phase of operations proposed by SBU Chief Maliuk, with August priorities focused on long-range strikes against Russia, though specific details remain undisclosed. On the defensive side, Ukraine faces a worsening situation as air defense missile supplies have dropped threefold compared to 2025, leaving Ukraine able to intercept less than 10% of incoming Russian ballistic missiles, a problem compounded by North Korea deploying approximately 120 ballistic missiles and 90 personnel to support Russia. Additional developments include Putin restructuring Russia's military command and creating a new unmanned systems forces branch, Lithuania agreeing to manufacture Ukrainian-designed drones, and the EU sending Ukraine another €1.4 billion funded by frozen Russian assets.

Ukraine Hits Two Refineries in One Night: Yaroslavl and Bashneft-Novoil
Suchomimus
Ukraine ramte to russiske olieraffinaderier i løbet af én nat med droneangreb. Yaroslavl-raffinaderiet, som har en kapacitet på 15 millioner tons olie årligt og forsyner Moskva-regionen, blev ramt flere steder af det, der ser ud til at have været mange droner over 700 km fra Ukraine. Bashneft Novoil-raffinaderiet i Bashkortostan, der producerer 7,1 millioner tons olie om året inklusive flybrændstof, blev også hårdt ramt næsten 1.500 km fra den ukrainske grænse.

Update from Ukraine | Ukraine Strikes Crimea with Drone Boats, one more Rus General Down
Denys Davydov
Ukrainian drones struck a large Wildberries warehouse in Yekaterinburg, approximately 1,800 km from Ukraine, causing a partial fire, while Ukrainian sea drone (Sea Baby) attacks were also reported near Yalta, Crimea, with smoke observed rising from the port area. The identity of a second Russian general killed in the August 1st bombing of a Moscow restaurant has been confirmed: Major General Valeriy Polokhotnuk, former deputy commander of the 49th Combined Arms Army, was killed alongside airspace forces commander Alexander Chyka's son-in-law during Chyka's 50th birthday celebration. A new U.S. intelligence assessment warns that Putin could test NATO's resolve with limited military or hybrid actions against member states, particularly on NATO's eastern flank, within a window spanning from late 2025 through 2029. Russian public support for the "special military operation" has also declined, with only 50% now believing it is meeting its objectives.

Ukraine's drone war is isolating Crimea
Anders Puck Nielsen
Ukraine's drone campaign is increasingly isolating Crimea and the southern front by targeting Russian logistics across three categories: a frontline "drone wall" of FPV drones, mid-range tactical strikes on supply routes and command centers 20–150 km from the front, and deep strategic strikes on Russian war production. The Kerch Bridge has been rendered unusable for heavy trucks and trains, ferries replacing it have been knocked offline, and ships in the ports of Mariupol and Berdyansk are being hit, effectively cutting off Crimea's sea and bridge supply links. Ukraine's drones are also hunting military vehicles along the M14 highway — dubbed the "highway of death" by Russian commentators — causing significant fuel shortages in Crimea and raising questions about how long Russia can sustain its southern forces.

Did a group of Ukrainians blow up Nord Stream?
Anders Puck Nielsen
A Ukrainian citizen has been charged in Germany over the 2022 Nord Stream explosions, and a new book claims a group of Ukrainians carried out the sabotage using a rented sailing yacht. However, analyst Anders Puck Nielsen argues the case is far from solved, pointing to several unexplained operational choices: the attackers chose an unnecessarily deep and difficult dive location that maximized publicity, behaved conspicuously by flying a Ukrainian flag and visiting multiple harbors, and left forensic evidence including explosive traces on the yacht. Nielsen also raises broader strategic questions — such as why Ukraine would risk its critical relationship with Germany by blowing up infrastructure on allied territory, why the German government responded with near-indifference, and why the pipeline's destruction would only be temporary since it can be repaired — concluding that journalists should scrutinize these gaps rather than treat the Ukrainian-divers narrative as settled fact.

Attempt to Attack Ukrainian Transport Aircraft in Germany! Drone With Explosive
Suchomimus
En drone med sprængstoffer og en detonator blev opdaget parkeret ved siden af et ukrainsk transportfly i Leipzig/Halle lufthavn i Tyskland, hvilket udløste en nedlukning af lufthavnen. Under hændelsen kollidererede et DHL-fragtfly desuden med en anden drone i 400 meters højde og pådrog sig frontendskader, men landede sikkert. Videoens vært mener, at angrebet med stor sandsynlighed blev udført af russiske stedfortrædere, da Leipzig/Halle er et vigtigt knudepunkt for forsyninger til Ukraine, og beskriver det som en markant eskalering.

Russia's Best Fighter Jet Crashed Near Moscow. Ukraine May Have Hacked the Air Defense
Wes O'Donnell
Den 23. juli styrtede et russisk SU-57-jagerfly ned nær Zvenigorod, ca. 40 km fra Moskva. Det russiske forsvarsministerium kaldte det en teknisk fejl, mens russiske Telegram-kanaler pegede på venlig ild. Det ukrainske efterretningskollektiv InformNapalm fremsatte en tredje og mere opsigtsvækkende påstand: at Ukraine i uger forud for styrtet havde studeret og kortlagt en russisk luftforsvarsenheds (Bars Moskva) software, hardware og procedurer, og derefter manipuleret systemet til at angribe det egne SU-57 ved at forgifte det billede, systemet baserede sine beslutninger på. Påstanden er ikke offentligt bekræftet, men videoen argumenterer for, at den beskriver en reel og alvorlig kategori af sårbarhed i moderne netværksbaseret luftforsvar, uanset om den konkrete hændelse nogensinde bliver fuldt opklaret.

Update from Ukraine | Huge! One of the biggest Kabooms in Russia! Putin Made an important Statement
Denys Davydov
Ukraine continues its drone campaign against Russian infrastructure, striking at least 13 Wildberries warehouse facilities — including a major one in the Saratov region — as well as refineries in Saratov and Ufa, causing massive fires that firefighters were unable to control. A suspected Ukrainian intelligence operation targeted a birthday celebration for Russian Air Force General Alexander Chyko in Moscow, where a woman delivered an explosive device, killing herself and a security guard, though the general's condition remains unclear. Davydov also reports on a false flag warning, noting that Russia may be using captured Ukrainian FP-1 drones to provoke incidents near NATO/EU borders, with Poland already warned about this threat. In response to all these events, Putin made no meaningful statement, instead releasing a congratulatory video for Russian Railways workers.

PUTIN'S GАSОLINE COLLAPSE: Russia's oil refining set back by 24 years!
UATV English
Russia's oil refining capacity has suffered a dramatic decline, reportedly set back by 24 years according to the video's claims. The title suggests that Putin's fuel sector is experiencing a significant collapse, likely due to Western sanctions, Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian refineries, or a combination of both factors that have severely damaged Russia's petroleum processing infrastructure.

Russia's Newest Corvette On Fire at Severnaya Verf Shipyard, St. Petersburg. Attack or Accident?
Suchomimus
En næsten færdiggjort russisk korvet er gået i brand på Severnaya Verf-skibsværftet i St. Petersborg, blot et par uger inden den skulle søsættes. Videoen, der cirkulerer på Telegram, viser en voldsom brand, men giver ikke mange detaljer om hændelsen. Det er endnu uklart, om der er tale om et ukrainsk angreb eller en ulykke, men skibet formodes at være en Sturggoi-klasse korvet – samme type som tidligere blev angrebet af ukrainske droner i juni. Kanalen lover en opdatering, når flere oplysninger bliver tilgængelige.

Ukraine Destroys Tor-M2 (Plus Failed Interception) & Multiple Radars in Krasnodar Krai
Suchomimus
Ukraine delte en samling videoer, der dokumenterer en serie droneangreb i Krasnodar Krai i Rusland. Et Tor-M2 luftforsvarssystem blev ramt og fuldstændig ødelagt af en FP-01 drone, efter at et SAM-missilaffyring forgæves forsøgte at nedskyde den angribende drone. Derudover blev syv russiske radarsystemer ramt, herunder Nebo-W, Nebo-U og Nebo-WS (dele af Nebo-M-komplekset), en Gamma-S1M-luftovervågningsradar, Kasta-2E2 tidlige varslingsradarer samt en sjælden 376-radar. Videoens ophavsmand spekulerer i, om angrebene kan have fundet sted forud for Ukraines vellykkede angreb på Ruslands skyggeflåde i Azovske Hav – altså som en blindning af russisk luftovervågning inden det større angreb.

How a Circuit Board From a Downed Drone Led Ukraine to Russia's Biggest Shopping Warehouse
Wes O'Donnell
Ukraine conducted a coordinated drone campaign beginning July 17-18, 2025, striking multiple Wildberries logistics warehouses across at least six Russian regions, destroying roughly 10% of the company's total storage capacity and causing an estimated $1.3 billion in damage. The strikes were not random: Wildberries had quietly become a key node in Russia's improvised military supply chain, with volunteer groups using the platform to purchase drone components, fiber optic spools, thermal sights, and body armor for frontline units. The video argues that Ukraine likely identified the warehouses through forensic intelligence fusion — tracing components recovered from downed Russian drones through manufacturer records, customs data, and marketplace seller accounts to pinpoint specific warehouse locations. While the exact intelligence sequence has not been publicly confirmed, every individual capability in that chain is documented as something Ukraine has developed and employed throughout the war.

It's Confirmed: Real Combat Footage Shows the German X-Wing Drone Flying Against Russia
Wes O'Donnell
Rigtige kampoptagelser bekræfter, at Ukraine flyver den tyske Helsing HX2-drone – formet som et X-wing-jagerfly – mod russiske mål med Ukraines 59. separate angrebsbrigade. Dronen vejer ca. 12 kg, flyver med op til 220 km/t og har en rækkevidde på op til 100 km, men dens vigtigste egenskab er dens AI-styrede terminalfase: en menneskelig operatør identificerer og låser målet, hvorefter dronens indbyggede AI overtager den endelige indflyvning, selv hvis signalet jammes eller mistes. Systemet er dermed ikke en autonom dræbermaskine, men en løsning på et konkret problem – russisk elektronisk krigsførelse – der ellers ville afbryde forbindelsen i missionens mest kritiske sekunder.

Ukrainian F-16 Air Ambush: Su-35s Never Saw It Coming
Wes O'Donnell
On July 8th, Ukraine downed a Russian Su-35 air superiority fighter using a deliberate three-aircraft ambush that exploited predictable Russian intercept behavior. One F-16 flew a low-altitude profile mimicking a typical strike run to lure the Su-35, while two F-16s armed with AMRAAMs waited at higher altitude outside the Russian pilot's radar coverage, with a repositioned Patriot battery providing additional radar coverage of Russian-controlled airspace. The Su-35 pilot committed to the intercept based on months of successful identical engagements, at which point the trap closed and a missile struck before he could recognize the full geometry of the ambush. The kill's significance lies less in which platform fired the final shot—still publicly unresolved—and more in Ukraine's demonstrated ability to network disparate platforms into a coordinated kill chain that neutralized Russia's hardware radar and missile-range advantages.

Everyone's Talking About Ukraine's New Fighter Jets. That's Not the Real Story
Wes O'Donnell
Frankrig og Ukraine underskrev den 13. juli en forsvarsaftale, der giver Ukraine juridisk licens til selv at producere SCALP-krydsermissiler, AASM-styrede bomber og Aster 30-interceptorer på ukrainsk jord. Derudover modtager Ukraine 16 Rafale-jagerfly som første del af en aftale om op til 100 fly leveret over et årti. Videoen argumenterer for, at den virkelige nyhed ikke er jagerflyene, men licenserne – fordi et land der producerer sine egne våben ikke længere er afhængigt af andre landes lagre eller politiske vilje. Frankrig positionerer sig dermed som en industriel forsvarspartner for Ukraine og integrerer landet i Europas fremtidige luft- og missilforsvarsarkitektur.

Ukraine Turned $55,000 Recreational Planes Into a Strike Aircraft Squadron — and Hid It for Months
Wes O'Donnell
Ukraine secretly converted $55,000 French-designed Sky Ranger ultralight recreational aircraft into long-range strike drones — dubbed "Gorynich" — by removing the pilot seat, adding fuel tanks, remote controls, and electro-optical cameras, then mounting Soviet-era OFAB 100-120 bombs beneath the fuselage. The program was publicly revealed on July 13 when a Ukrainian defense ministry advisor posted a photograph of at least 10 armed aircraft on a dirt airstrip, though analysis of bare trees in the background suggests the photo was taken months earlier, meaning the squadron had been operating covertly for some time. The aircraft were reportedly used in a joint strike by Ukraine's Air Force, National Guard, and an unmanned systems center against hardened Russian underground logistics infrastructure near the Perekop isthmus connecting Crimea to Russian-controlled territory. Their key tactical advantages are their near-zero military radar signature, extremely low cost compared to conventional cruise missiles, and the ability to operate at scale — qualities that forced Russian air defense planners to suddenly reassess every slow, small, unremarkable aircraft in their airspace.

This UK Forge is Roaring Back to Life and Ukraine's Artillery Barrels Are the First Shipment
Wes O'Donnell
Sheffield Forgemasters har for første gang i næsten 20 år produceret smedede artilleriløb, og de første fire er sendt til Ukraine som en kvalifikationsbatch. Produktionen sker under en BAE Systems-kontrakt på 61 millioner pund, og der er planlagt yderligere 146 løb med en produktionshastighed på cirka otte om måneden. Videoen argumenterer for, at Storbritanniens beslutning om at opgive denne kapacitet efter den kolde krig var en strategisk fejltagelse, da industriel viden og infrastruktur ikke kan genopbygges hurtigt, og at krigen i Ukraine har tvunget landet til langsomt og kostbart at genetablere sin forsvarsindustrielle basis. Det samlede program på 150 løb er meningsfuld støtte, men udgør ikke i sig selv en afgørende forskel for artillerikrigens forløb i Ukraine.

Satellite Images Show Russia's Air Defenses Disappearing From the Arctic. Here's Where They Went
Wes O'Donnell
Satellitbilleder viser, at Rusland har fjernet sine luftforsvarssystemer – herunder S-300 og S-400 affyringsramper, radarer og genladningskøretøjer – fra området omkring Severodvinsk i Arktis, hvor landets eneste skibsværft til atomubåde, Sevmash, er beliggende. Systemerne er sandsynligvis blevet flyttet sydpå for at dække fronten i Ukraine, hvor Rusland løbende mangler luftforsvarskapacitet. Videoen argumenterer for, at ukrainske droneangreb mod mål dybt inde i Rusland har tvunget Moskva til at sprede sine begrænsede luftforsvarsressourcer over et langt større område, end de kan dække. Dermed har Ukraine opnået en betydelig strategisk effekt: Ruslands mest uerstattelige militærindustrielle anlæg er nu væsentligt dårligere beskyttet end for blot to år siden.

The Fighter Jet Sweden Built for a War That Never Came Is Finally Getting Its Fight
Wes O'Donnell
Storbritanniens tidligere premierminister Keir Starmer annoncerede under sit sidste besøg i Kyiv 300 millioner pund til at hjælpe Ukraine med at erhverve 16 nybyggede Saab Gripen E-jagerfly, som en del af en samlet kontrakt med Sveriges forsvarsmaterielforvaltning til en værdi af ca. 2,2-2,6 milliarder dollars. Sverige har desuden forpligtet sig til at donere op til 16 ældre Gripen C/D-fly direkte som militærhjælp, med leverancer fra 2027, hvilket potentielt giver Ukraine op til 32 Gripen-fly i alt. Gripen E fremhæves som særligt velegnet til Ukraines krigssituation, fordi flyet fra starten blev designet til at operere fra spredte vejstrækninger frem for konventionelle flybaser – præcis den doktrin Ukraine har brug for, da Rusland systematisk har angrebet faste luftbaser siden 2022. Flyets Meteor-missil med ramjet-fremdrift og en såkaldt "no-escape zone" fremhæves som en afgørende kapabilitet, der kan ændre dynamikken i luftkampen mod russiske Su-35-fly.

Update from Ukraine | Big Ukraine Counterattack in Komar Direction | Mid Strikes Are Massive Again
Denys Davydov
Ukraine fortsætter sit modangreb i Kamar-retningen, hvor kampen om landsbyen Zera er i gang. Hvis ukrainske styrker lykkes med at befri landsbyen og krydse floden, kan de potentielt etablere et brohoved ved landsbyerne Jalta og Zaparisien. Analytikeren vurderer dog, at Ukraine under den nye generalkommandant vil prioritere forsvar frem for store offensive operationer, da ressourcemangel og massive russiske droner og svævebomber gør store angrebsoperationer meget omkostningsfulde. Han kritiserer desuden vestlige landes fortsatte handel med Rusland, herunder Belgiens køb af russisk flydende gas, som han betegner som hykleri over for de ukrainske soldater på frontlinjen.

Update from Ukraine | Awesome! Ukraine is up to Encircle Russian Army in Lyman
Denys Davydov
Ukraine lancerede et modangreb ved Lyman, befriede landsbyerne Dubrova og Ozirna og truede med at indespærre russiske styrker i området, delvist muliggjort af pontonbroer over Seversky Donets. Analytikere advarer dog om, at Rusland fortsat har ressourcefordele og aktivt angriber i retning af Pokrovsk og Mirnograd. Videoens vært reflekterer kritisk over Kursk-operationen for to år siden, og konkluderer at den var en strategisk fejltagelse, som kostede Ukraine uforholdsmæssigt mange ressourcer og gav Rusland momentum til efterfølgende territoriale gevinster. Afslutningsvis udtrykkes bekymring over, at USA angiveligt tilbageholder luftforsvarsmidler fra Ukraine som et forhandlingspres.

Ukraine Destroys Russian Convoy Near Destroyed Bridge + More Convoy Strikes
Suchomimus
The video examines Ukrainian strikes on Russian supply convoys along the E58 highway, focusing on footage of multiple trucks burning near a previously destroyed bridge, where Russian forces had built a bypass road. A compilation of additional Ukrainian drone strikes on logistics vehicles — including fuel tankers and military trucks — in the Zaporizhzhia region is also discussed. The narrator notes that Ukraine's expanded use of mid-range strike drones now allows it to hit targets over 100 kilometers from the front lines, disrupting key Russian supply routes from hubs like Mariupol, Berdyansk, and Melitopol. He also highlights Russia's tactic of disguising military supplies in civilian trucks to avoid detection, while acknowledging Ukraine appears to have reliable intelligence for identifying legitimate targets.

24 hours under glide bombs in Dobropillia
Kyiv Independent
The Kyiv Independent embeds with a Ukrainian National Guard FPV drone team defending Dobropillia, a city in Donetsk Oblast that has been devastated by an intense Russian glide bomb campaign over the past year. Journalists describe a level of destruction surpassing almost anything seen elsewhere in the war — apartment blocks gutted, streets empty of civilians, and the constant threat of drones and four-bomb glide bomb salvos arriving each evening. Despite Ukrainian defenses holding and Russia failing to take the city by assault, the human cost is made starkly personal at the end: the basement where the crew filmed their dinner was destroyed by a glide bomb days later, killing two soldiers, including cook "Cock," whose bodies could not be recovered due to the rubble.

Russia launched one of its largest overnight missile and drone barrages against Ukraine, firing 115 drones, ballistic missiles, and hypersonic weapons at Kyiv and surrounding areas, killing at least 17 people and injuring dozens more, with the Brovary district outside the capital among the hardest hit. Moscow claimed its strikes targeted military logistics and supply infrastructure, including an underground base belonging to Ukrainian drone unit "Modjur's Birds" in the Kherson region, where it said more than a platoon of personnel were killed along with ammunition and electronic warfare equipment. Russia also claimed its air defenses destroyed 605 Ukrainian drones launched in a simultaneous counterattack across multiple Russian regions. The report also includes footage of Russian President Putin announcing military command reshuffles, consolidating logistics and armaments functions under new appointees.

Ukrainians react to Zelensky's military leadership shakeup
Kyiv Independent
Zelensky afskedigede øverstkommanderende Zaluzhny og udnævnte en ny militær leder, hvilket vakte blandede reaktioner blandt ukrainere. Mange borgere og soldater betegner beslutningen som længe ventet og nødvendig, og ser den som et tegn på, at præsidenten lytter til folkeopinionen og ønsker reformer i militæret. Nogle udtrykker dog bekymring over tidspunktet for skiftet midt under krigen, og advarer om, at sådanne beslutninger bør træffes med varsomhed. Generelt er der en forsigtig optimisme om, at det nye lederskab kan bringe positive forandringer, men mange understreger, at kun tiden vil vise, om det var det rigtige valg.

Drones or tanks? How to spend rising defense budgets
Anders Puck Nielsen
Videoens centrale spørgsmål er, hvordan stigende forsvarsbudgetter bør prioriteres mellem traditionelle platforme (kampvogne, fregatter, jagerfly) og ny ubemandet teknologi. Anders Puck Nielsen argumenterer for, at drone-revolutionen er en omvæltning af samme historiske kaliber som opfindelsen af flyet eller tanken, og at den skubber moderne krigsførelse i retning af udmattelseskrig frem for manøvrekrig – hvilket kræver en helt ny indkøbs- og doktrinsmentalitet, herunder større fokus på mængde og reservekapacitet. Samtidig understreger han, at traditionelle bemandede platforme ikke forsvinder, da soldater, pansrede køretøjer og store krigsskibe stadig er uundværlige til frontlinjeoperationer og globale ekspeditionsopgaver, som droner ikke kan løfte alene. Konklusionen er, at vestlige lande skal finde en balance: omfavne ubemandet teknologi og langtrækkende missilkapacitet som rygraden i en fremtidig konflikt med Rusland, men bevare klassiske kapaciteter til de opgaver, ny teknologi endnu ikke kan løse.
