Sam Bendett discusses the state of the Ukraine war as Russia steadily gains ground as Ukrainian casualties mount thanks to US dithering over aid.

Samuel Bendett said that to achieve a 99 percent interception rate required defenses that are probably “much costlier than the total number of threats arrayed against Israel.”

Samuel Bendett said, "We know Russians are either fixing the downed Baba Yagas and fly them as their own, and they are trying to build an equivalent of this drone."

Cornell Overfield writes, “Finally ratifying UNCLOS would pull the carpet out from under cynical Russian and Chinese attempts to paint the United States as an international rule-breaker at sea.”

According to a recent report from the Center for Naval Analyses, an average of 184 law enforcement officers committed suicide per year between 2016 and 2022.

Samuel Bendett said, “What we’re seeing probably is a fraction of what’s actually happening.”

Samuel Bendett discusses Ukraine’s new long-range drones and how Kyiv is using them to strike war industries deep in Russia.

Samuel Bendett said, “Anything that moves on the battlefield is seen and hit with a drone.”

Samuel Bendett says, “There's no way to predict how commanders will respond to a given situation.”

Samuel Bendett said, "Operating UGVs is more difficult given that terrain and various obstacles must be taken into account."

Paul Schwartz and Sam Bendett discuss the different technological and tactical battlefield innovations taking place in Ukraine today, and what they mean for military analysts studying the war.

Samuel Bendett said, “There are also questions why such a significant target as the Alabuga site did not have good air defence protection, considering attacks that already took place on many targets inside Russia."

Samuel Bendett said, "The main goal is to sever the dependence on communication between the drone and the operator, and the drone with a satellite for navigation."

Joshua Tallis writes, “The choices NATO navies are making today will shape allied commanders’ options for decades to come.”

Rizwan Jan says, “A strong organizational culture is about more than business positivity; it’s a strategic foundation for business growth and cyber resilience.”

Sam Bendett discusses the latest in the Russo-Ukrainian War including Russia's recent strikes on Ukrainian cities plunging more than 1 million into darkness and Kyiv's 800-mile drone attack on a key Russian unmanned aircraft factory.
