Russia launched 269 drones and missiles in a single night, and Ukraine intercepted almost 2,700 drones in one week. Dr. Kimberly Kagan, founder and president of the Institute for the Study of War, explains why Putin has shifted from slow ground gains to a strategic bombing campaign aimed at breaking Ukraine’s will. Kagan covers why she thinks Ukraine has the upper hand on the ground, the disconnect between Russian commanders and the Kremlin, how Starlink disruptions are hurting Ukraine’s ability to counter jet-powered drones, and what AI and swarming could mean for the battlefield in the year ahead. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔔 Subscribe for more conversations on technology, national security, and U.S. competitiveness: youtube.com/@SCSPAI 🌐 Our work: scsp.ai 📄 Reports: scsp.ai/ourwork 📬 Newsletter: substack.com/@scsp 🗓️ Events: scsp.ai/events Follow SCSP X: x.com/scsp_ai Instagram: instagram.com/scsp.ai ...
