The relentless, bloody battle in eastern Ukraine is reminiscent of old-world warfare, with miles of trenches, tanks, howitzers, and pounding artillery turning cities to rubble, evoking memories of WWII or even WWI battles.
It’s not surprising that many consider war in the 21st century similar to major land, sea, and air battles of 80 years ago. However, the general public is only getting a glimpse of what today’s new technologies are bringing to the battlefield.
In Ukraine, cheaper, faster, and more flexible technology innovations are helping the country achieve the force overmatch few military analysts thought could be possible when Russia first invaded.
This success can be attributed to Ukraine’s courageous, open-minded, and forward-thinking military leadership, which has been willing to create and deploy new technologies to gain an advantage.
