Lessons from Ukraine’s Front Lines

Host Seth Jones speaks with Lieutenant General (Ret.) Curtis Buzzard, former commander of Security Assistance Group–Ukraine and NATO Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine, about what more than four years of war in Ukraine reveal about the changing character of combat. Drawing on over 30 trips into the country, Buzzard examines Ukraine’s rapid cycle of battlefield innovation in drones and deep strike and the role of the Delta battle management system. He also weighs whether the U.S. military should create a dedicated branch for unmanned systems and assesses whether the United States is learning lessons from the conflict as fast and as closely as its adversaries.
