The war in Ukraine has entered a dangerous new phase, with Russia sending bigger, more powerful drone attacks across the border nearly every day. Gone are the tanks, columns of troops, and heavy artillery from the early days of Moscow's full-scale invasion. Now, tens of thousands of drones swarm Ukraine's skies at any given moment. Christopher Miller, chief Ukraine correspondent at the Financial Times, joins Ian Bremmer on the GZERO World Podcast to discuss the war's evolution from a conventional land invasion into a high-tech war of attrition dominated by drones. Artificial intelligence, drones, all types of unmanned vehicles are being used to wage war alongside traditional tanks and artillery. Civilians in Ukraine's cities are under constant threat from aerial attacks, sheltering in subways and bomb shelters every night. Despite immense resilience, Ukraine's people are getting exhausted and the country is running out of manpower. How long can Ukraine hold out? Is a diplomatic ceasefire at all a possibility?Host: Ian BremmerGuest: Christopher Miller   Subscribe to the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast platform, to receive new episodes as soon as they're published.

Air Date 9/20/2025 The escalations are happening so fast now that even though this episode is about Russia increasing tensions by violating NATO airspace in Poland with drones and Israel intensifying their belligerence by bombing inside Qatar, those aren't even the most recent incidents now that Russian jets have entered NATO airspace in Estonia and Israel has launched a new attack on Gaza City while Netanyahu says he wants Israel to become like the doomed city-state of Sparta, which was weird.

Edition No198 | 23-07-2025 - In this episode, we take a hard, unsparing look at the Russian military's transformation, or lack of it—and the West's slow, uncertain response, at times pessimistic and laden with panic, at others complacent and bloated by hubris and overconfidence. Drawing on the analysis of John Foreman CBE and Edward Lucas of The Times, this episode insights from Bob Seely's new book ‘The New Total War'. It explores three years of hard lessons from Ukraine's battlefield, to ask: Is Russia preparing for perpetual war—and are we prepared to stop it?Russian Military Reform – Crude, Bloody, But Learning Dangerously and Unexpectedly Fast. John Foreman CBE, former British defence attaché in Moscow, pulls no punches: "Russia's approach to war is not efficient in a Western sense—its waste is staggering—but it can still be effective." (NEST Centre, July 2025). Despite early humiliations—the failed dash to Kyiv, the retreat from Kherson, and the mauling at Vuhledar—Russia has adapted. Foreman notes: “Mass and firepower, not finesse, remain the defining principles.” The focus is not on minimizing casualties but on ensuring throughput: of shells, drones, prisoners, and bodies, for meat-wave assaults.----------DESCRIPTION:Russia's Military Transformation: Adapting for Perpetual ConflictIn this episode of Silicon Bites, we delve into the critical question of whether Russia's military can change and adapt amidst the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

In this episode, Alice interviews Dr Beryl Pong, an expert on 20th-century and contemporary war. Beryl is a UKRI Future Leaders Fellow at the University of Cambridge's Centre for the Future of Intelligence. An affiliated lecturer in the Faculty of English, her research is very interdisciplinary, combining literary and historical studies with visual politics and an interest in emerging technologies. Her first book, British Literature and Culture in Second World Wartime: for the Duration (published in 2020 by Oxford University Press) brings together her research on wartime literature, film and art and looks specifically at how people articulated and navigated temporal anxieties in the context of WWII. Beryl's interest in space and time, and in literary, sound and visual cultures, is also key to her current research on drone warfare. In 2024 she co-edited a book on Drone Aesthetics: War, Culture, Ecology; and she leads the Centre for Drones and Culture at Cambridge, which explores how drones are impacting the way we see and relate to our world. The episode starts by diving into some WWII literature to explore the concept of chronophobia: a dread of both past and future, coloured by the in-between-ness of a long period of conflict that followed on from the First World War and led into the Cold War. As Beryl explains, anxieties about past and future are common to many wartime experiences, but they take on some specific resonances during WWII. Along the way, we also explore 'micro temporalities' during wartime, such as the anxiety that builds during a day about what night-time air raids might bring. We move from discussing 20th-century 'war in the skies' to discussion of the impact that drone technologies are having on how we visualise war itself, as well as how people in conflict zones get viewed. As Beryl underlines, drones promote habits of viewing that are often top-down, imperial and securitising, with a host of real-world consequences for different people on the ground. We discuss the importance of countering this with more bottom-up ways of looking at contemporary wartime experiences, and this leads to some conversation about the roles that art can play in showing us war from new perspectives. This podcast connects to conversations in previous episodes with Julian Wright, Kathryn Brimblecombe-Fox and Paul Lushenko and Jerilyn Packer. We hope you enjoy the discussion.For a version of our podcast with close captions, please use this link.

In this episode of the Defence Connect Spotlight podcast, host Liam Garman is joined by Simon Olsen, chief executive officer and co-founder of Arkeus autonomous optical systems, to discuss the changing world of drone warfare and what Australia is trying to achieve in the uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) strategic space. Olsen, the commercial-savvy CEO of Arkeus, has more than a decade of experience working with autonomous optical systems and the overall defence industry. Drawing on experience working with the Australian Defence Force, US branches and other international militaries, Olsen starts the podcast with the origins of weaponised drones from their use of optical cameras in Afghanistan and Iraq. The pair examine the strengths and weaknesses of UAV systems, as well as their use in denied environments and electronic warfare-impacted areas. Exploring the cost-to-benefit ratio of current drones in Ukraine, Garman and Olsen discuss drones using off-the-shelf technology and their persistent use in military operations. Olsen shares his experience of working with front-line personnel and its impact on successive contracts with the Australian Army, Royal Australian Navy and the Royal Australian Air Force. Finally, Olsen reveals the company's goals for the future, AUKUS and his thoughts on upcoming events shaping the overall defence industry in Australia. Enjoy the episode, The Defence Connect team

Ukraine Matters: Analyzing NATO Summit & Defense Strategies with Georgijs Ivanovs Georgijs, the founder of the Ukraine Matters channel, discusses the latest developments in NATO's support for Ukraine, defense spending, and Ukraine's innovative wartime strategies. Topics include the impact of European funding, the production of military supplies within Ukraine, and the evolving dynamics of drone and missile warfare. The conversation also addresses the potential for Russian economic collapse, the inefficiencies within Russian military tactics, and the broader geopolitical implications of the ongoing war. Georgijs emphasizes the importance of supporting Ukrainian production and the strategic use of resources to counter Russian advancements. Additionally, the discussion touches on the role of AI in modern warfare and the significance of adapting to rapidly changing battlefield technologies.----------Georgijs Ivanovs started the Ukraine Matters channel in 2007, and it has garners 11.5 m views. He started the channel to explain the situation surrounding the war in Ukraine in simple terms. Like myself, he is not Ukrainian, nor is he a military expert. But he has been to Ukraine many times and seen it almost fully (except for Odesa region). He has a lot of good friends in Ukraine, and in fact his wife is Ukrainian, and so feels extremely connected to the invasion that scaled up in February 2022. ----------LINKS: @UkraineMatters  ----------CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction to Ukraine Matters01:32 NATO Summit Highlights03:04 European Support and Danish Model 2.007:39 Drone Warfare and Innovations10:33 Ukraine's Missile Capabilities16:15 Economic and Military Outlook21:53 Potential Endgame Scenarios26:34 Conclusion and Final Thoughts----------Car for Ukraine has once again joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this summer.

Ukraine's Covert Drone Strike on Russia's Nuclear Bombers – In a bold operation dubbed “Spider Web,” Ukraine smuggles explosive-laden drones into Russia disguised as backyard sheds, damaging up to 40 nuclear-capable bombers. The strike signals a new era in covert drone warfare and offers a chilling preview of what China might replicate on U.S. soil. Drone Warfare and Port Vulnerabilities Raise U.S. Security Concerns – Bryan connects Ukraine's tactics to vulnerabilities in U.S. ports, especially Chinese-built cranes embedded with suspect electronics. He warns that the threat of Trojan-horse-style drone attacks is now a domestic risk, not just a foreign battlefield tactic. China's Rare Earth Blackmail Threatens U.S. Auto Industry – Despite Trump's tariff rollbacks, China is withholding critical rare earth exports, putting U.S. vehicle production on the brink. Trump responds by suspending Chinese student visas and weighing further retaliatory measures. Defense Secretary Warns: Taiwan Invasion “Could Be Imminent” – At the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth warns that China is training daily for a Taiwan assault. He urges U.S. readiness and tells Europe to focus on Russian threats instead of meddling in Asia. Analysis: Is Putin Helping Xi By Prolonging the Ukraine War? – Bryan outlines a possible coordination between Russia and China, using Ukraine to distract and weaken the West as Beijing prepares for action on Taiwan.

Join Colonel Vikrant Shinde and Arindam Goswami in this episode of All Things Policy, where we dive into one of the most transformative developments in modern warfare and aviation: the rise of unmanned aerial systems. Vikrant, a Research Fellow at Takshashila, is working on a research paper on this very subject, which will be out very soon.From their military origins to today's complex commercial ecosystem, drones have revolutionised our airspace - particularly what experts call the "Air Littoral," that critical zone below 10,000 feet where traditional aircrafts now share space with everything from delivery drones to weaponised UAVs.The recent India-Pakistan conflict brought this reality into sharp focus, showing how drones have fundamentally transformed the battlefield. Meanwhile, countries like India are navigating the delicate balance between fostering innovation through regulations like the Drone Rules 2021 while simultaneously developing counter-UAS capabilities to address emerging security threats.The discussion in this episode explores this new aerial frontier - where regulators, military strategists, and technology developers are racing to build systems that can distinguish friend from foe in increasingly congested skies. How do we manage this complex ecosystem? What lessons have recent conflicts taught us about drone warfare? And what does the future hold for airspace security?Join us as we discuss about the technological challenges, regulatory frameworks, and defence strategies shaping the future of our skies.The PGP is a comprehensive 48-week hybrid programme tailored for those aiming to delve deep into the theoretical and practical aspects of public policy.

HR2 Bret Boyd: Drone Warfare, Oil Regulations, Trump and Trade Deals with the UK 5-7-25 by John Rush

Edition No135 | 28-04-2025 - After transitioning to become his excellency, Ukraine's ambassador to the UK, General Valerii Zaluzhnyi kept a relatively low profile. Now he's attending more civic events that have connections to the Ukrainian community, and has given keynote addresses at several significant events, including Chatham House and Rusi. His vision of the future of war is emerging, as well as some criticism of Western military preparations to counter Russia, that is couched in low-key, highly diplomatic language, but is devastating in substance. Valerii Zaluzhnyi opened a recent address at the Ukrainian School of Management, a new space for leadership and critical thinking, with this emotive sentence: “Three years ago, we faced a stark choice: to fight or to vanish. And we made our decision - we chose to fight. Not only did we manage to stop and push back the most powerful enemy in the world, but we also redefined the very nature of modern warfare. As a result, Ukraine has become home to one of the most advanced and adaptive armed forces of our time.” ----------LINKS:https://www.pravda.com.ua/columns/2025/04/25/7509135/https://www.defenseone.com/ideas/2025/04/how-drones-data-and-ai-transformed-our-militaryand-why-us-must-follow-suit/404444/ ----------Easter Pysanky: Silicon Curtain - https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/easter-pysanky-silicon-curtainCar for Ukraine has joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this special Easter season.

On this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop talks with Troy Johnson, founder and partner at Resource Development Group, LLC, about the deep history and modern implications of mining. From the earliest days of salt extraction to the role of rare earth metals in global geopolitics, the conversation covers how mining has shaped technology, warfare, and supply chains. They discuss the strategic importance of minerals like gallium and germanium, the rise of drone warfare, and the ongoing battle for resource dominance between China and the West. Listeners can find more about Troy's work at resourcedevgroup.com (www.resourcedevgroup.com) and connect with him on LinkedIn via the Resource Development Group page.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast00:17 The Origins of Mining00:28 Early Uses of Mined Materials03:29 The Evolution of Mining Techniques07:56 Mining in the Industrial Revolution09:05 Modern Mining and Strategic Metals12:25 The Role of AI in Modern Warfare24:36 Decentralization in Warfare and Governance30:51 AI's Unpredictable Moves in Go32:26 The Shift in Media Trust33:40 The Rise of Podcasts35:47 Mining Industry Innovations39:32 Geopolitical Impacts on Mining40:22 The Importance of Supply Chains44:37 Challenges in Rare Earth Processing51:26 Ensuring a Bulletproof Supply Chain57:23 Conclusion and Contact InformationKey InsightsMining is as old as civilization itself – Long before the Bronze Age, humans were mining essential materials like salt and ochre, driven by basic survival needs. Over time, mining evolved from a necessity for tools and pigments to a strategic industry powering economies and military advancements. This deep historical perspective highlights how mining has always been a fundamental pillar of technological and societal progress.The geopolitical importance of critical minerals – Modern warfare and advanced technology rely heavily on strategic metals like gallium, germanium, and antimony. These elements are essential for electronic warfare, radar systems, night vision devices, and missile guidance. The Chinese government, recognizing this decades ago, secured global mining and processing dominance, putting Western nations in a vulnerable position as they scramble to reestablish domestic supply chains.The rise of drone warfare and EMP defense systems – Military strategy is shifting toward drone swarms, where thousands of small, cheap, AI-powered drones can overwhelm traditional defense systems. This has led to the development of countermeasures like EMP-based defense systems, including the Leonidas program, which uses gallium nitride to disable enemy electronics. This new battlefield dynamic underscores the urgent need for securing critical mineral supplies to maintain technological superiority.China's long-term strategy in resource dominance – Unlike Western nations, where election cycles dictate short-term decision-making, China has played the long game in securing mineral resources. Through initiatives like the Belt and Road, they have locked down raw materials while perfecting the refining process, making them indispensable to global supply chains. Their recent export bans on gallium and germanium show how resource control can be weaponized for geopolitical leverage.Ethical mining and the future of clean extraction – Mining has long been associated with environmental destruction and poor labor conditions, but advances in technology and corporate responsibility are changing that. Major mining companies are now prioritizing ethical sourcing, reducing emissions, and improving worker safety. Blockchain-based tracking systems are also helping verify supply chain integrity, ensuring that materials come from environmentally and socially responsible sources.The vulnerability of supply chains and the need for resilience – The West's reliance on outsourced mineral processing has created significant weaknesses in national security. A disruption—whether through trade restrictions, political instability, or sabotage—can cripple industries dependent on rare materials. A key takeaway is the need for a “bulletproof supply chain,” where critical materials are sourced, processed, and manufactured within allied nations to mitigate risk.AI, decentralization, and the next era of industrial warfare – As AI becomes more embedded in military decision-making and logistics, the balance between centralization and decentralization is being redefined. AI-driven drones, automated mining, and predictive supply chain management are reshaping how nations prepare for conflict. However, this also introduces risks, as AI operates within unpredictable “black boxes,” potentially leading to unintended consequences in warfare and resource management.

Interview with Ingvald, member of the “BIRDS OF FURY” unit of the Ukrainian armed forces. A unit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine that uses the «Backfire» unmanned aerial vehicle system which has been specially designed to destroy enemy forces and equipment. This drone can fly far beyond the front line, venting our fury on the enemy, and return home to pick up a new payload. The «Backfire» is immune to enemy radio electronic countermeasures, and like us, is ready to unleash its rightful rage against our genocidal invaders. However, we and our planes need your help to continue destroying the Russian occupiers before they come knocking on your door. ---------- LINKS: https://zlyizbir.org.ua/ https://zlyizbir.org.ua/en/ ---------- We ran two events in Ukraine in the last two weeks. Lviv (part 2) and Kyiv. The event we ran in August 2023 was a huge success, and had a great impact. Now our aim is even more ambitious. Two cities. Two events. Multiple panels consisting of the best experts, and all filmed in high definition for the channel. https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras But it costs. Last time the overall cost was £3,500 for Live in Lviv, and we covered 80% of this through ticket sales. This time the costs are higher, and there's less opportunity to sell tickets at the available venues and studios, so I'm creating a campaign to raise £5,000 to make this trip a reality.

The mysterious drones spotted flying over New Jersey and at least six other states have captured Americans' attention, creating worry and concern over their source for over a week now. Government agencies issued a joint statement on Monday saying there is no evidence that these drones are a threat to national security or public safety. So when will Americans have more answers on these peculiar sightings? Military affairs analyst Dr. Paul Schwennesen joins to explain the evolution of drone technology and what exactly drones of this size could be capable of. How will artificial intelligence shape our future? While AI holds the promise of significant benefits for humanity, there are also concerns about its potential misuse. A bipartisan House task force has just released a report with recommendations for smart regulation, aiming to position America as a leader in this emerging field. California Republican Congressman Jay Obernolte, co-chair of the task force, joins the Rundown to discuss how AI can revolutionize our lives for the better and why Congress must establish protections to prevent potential harm.

PREVIEW: DRONES: SOUTH KOREA: JAPAN Upcoming discussion with Henry Sokolski of the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center (NPEC) will examine a war game scenario exploring the implications of North Korean drone warfare targeting nuclear infrastructure. The analysis focuses on a hypothetical hybrid attack where drones strike a nuclear power plant in South Korea, potentially triggering mass evacuations across South Korea and Japan. This scenario raises critical questions about regional security vulnerabilities, drone defense capabilities, and the cascading effects of attacks on civilian nuclear facilities. The conversation will explore how such hybrid warfare tactics could destabilize the region through panic and mass displacement, even without conventional military engagement. Sokolski's insights should illuminate emerging security challenges at the intersection of drone technology, nuclear safety, and regional stability in East Asia. 1951 North Korea negotiators
