The new military superpower: Ukraine!

Ukraine is not just adapting to the new battlefield realities of robots, drones and AI. It's writing the text book. 

So says military expert Philip Ingram. I've seen other similar vids recently. We're seeing something new in war and we're seeing it most focussed in Ukraine. In Iran too, of course, but most advanced in ukraine. 

Who'da thought? 

And all of a sudden, it's Ukraine that's on top. Russia is losing more men per day than it can recruit. 400 a day it’s losing. To drones and robots. 

Ukraine’s 'drone wall', its “robot infantry” is rewriting the rules of modern warfare. 

In this week's episode of Battle Plans Exposed, military expert Philip Ingram MBE reveals a staggering new statistic: drones were responsible for 96% of Russian losses in March. 

From the surgical destruction of $25 million Tor-M2 air defence systems to the incineration of 'stolen grain' vessels in the Sea of Azov, the battlefield has become a 'panopticon' where Russian forces are constantly watched and relentlessly struck.
