The onslaught and intensity of the war in Ukraine shocked the world—especially as many imagined that such a full-scale war would never happen on European soil again.
The war in Ukraine has also significantly altered perceptions of warfare in the 21st century. Despite the expectations of US and NATO leaders that high-tech precision weapons bringing swift victories would dominate modern conflicts, the Ukraine conflict has showed the enduring relevance of conventional tactics and forces.
While the war in Ukraine has prominently featured elements reminiscent of 20th century wars, it has also featured the unprecedented scale and speed of adoption of small, inexpensive, commercial first-person-view drones. This off-the-shelf technology has been surprisingly easy to weaponize for tactical reconnaissance, as well as for suicide attacks against tanks and vehicles, trenches and weapons positions, and against aircraft on the ground (and even bringing down helicopters in flight).
This fusion of WWII style tactics and futuristic technologies has created a unique new type of hybrid warfare and battlefield environment where there is virtually no place left to hide.
Covering these defining features of the conflict, and including many first-hand accounts, “Combat Experience—Military Lessons From The War In Ukraine” looks at the current state-of-the war and the way the conflict has evolved over the past two years.
