Tanks, Drones and Missiles: How the Ukraine war changed post-soviet warfare globally | Superpowers

"What we're seeing in Ukraine at the moment, the concept of operations, that is failing, to keep up with technology. the Russians can barely light up a launcher with tactical nuclear weapons without us knowing about it."

The defeat of Russia's soviet tactics and equipment in Ukraine are becoming a key moment in the development of warfare, Defence Analyst Michael Clarke and Col. Hamish De Bretton-Gordon (Retd.) discuss how China and the West will adapt to the impact of drones surveillance and autonomous warfare on Superpowers with James Heappey

I wasn’t aware of James Heappy being a former minister of State as late as this year. I must say I’m very impressed with how he has hosted this program after just watching for 10 min.

This is very impressive and great conversation, military and political analysts discussing what most matters global community, Thank you very much, Times Radio.

[Uchetysx]

As an American, it’s refreshing to hear thoughtful, nonpartisan, and more than 30 seconds of discussion that we never get on any topic during the week.

Michael paints a pretty scary story of future warfare. He’s so brilliant.

[hereigoagain]

Great conversation! A politician moderating an expert panel and asking intelligent, serious, factual questions is a shock to this American.

[archielatus]

Very impressed with these 3 presenters. Hamish and Michael are regulars but James Heapey is very impressive- pity he’s no longer the MoD

[kevinkeiper]

loving this whole station and all the top notch commentary thank you

[glennbremner]

This, and other programmes like it are brilliant for bringing clarity from confusion. Great participants with a thorough knowledge in their spheres. Well done for presenting such an informative and interesting interview.

[thomasbenham]

Wish I could give more than a single thumbs up. Very informative.

May God hear our prayers and save Ukrainian heroes 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

[AuralioCabal]

I remember reading in the late 80s to 90s in Popular Science and Popular Mechanics magazines about future warfare, Mini drones and swarms of mini drones with AI and remote controlled, it is now reality.

[TERRYB]

Brilliant and informative discussion from three intelligent military men

[a.k.]

Another fantastic discussion, thank you!

[irongron]

The host mentions how industry can't keep up with the hardware presently, Interestingly, recently on the "Red Matrix" YouTube channel where former Air Vice-Marshall Sean Bell is a co-host, he mentioned how in the Battle of Britain is was the reverse, there were 20, 000 Spitfire fighters produced but not enough pilots to fly them! He said, if the pilot managed to bail out (it was very difficult, no ejection seats, they had to flip it upside down and fall out of it) - Sean said "Dust him off, give him a beer (and a new Spitfire)" and away he goes again! That was a great way to put it, very British!

Great style and content, it is humbling to listen to experts such as your guests. I hope me and my son aren't required for a second echelon NATO conflict anytime soon.

[TerryWilliams-wuxc]

I would like to see drones do more, casualty recovery, resupply, delivery of reinforcements and varied ordinance delivery.

[DavidGarcia-zuhl]

I disagree with the gentleman who said "no one can deny that China will not be a great power for the rest of this century." China has already lost the internal battle of demographics, and it will devastate their society, culture, and politics. Waaay past the tipping point. Greatest population crash in modern times, they cannot recover and maintain their status quo. China is MUCH more vulnerable than Russia. They do NOT have and will NOT have a true blue water navy in the next decade, they cannot protect any of the Seven maritime choke points that they need to receive provisions to compensate for something they have never been able to do on their own: fuel themselves and feed themselves. China can cause much trouble, what is most worrisome is that Xi operates in a vacuum, and he is certainly capable of making decisions with the same poor judgement as Putin.

Despite the grim nature of the conversation, it's reassuring to kmow that these guys are helping us prepare.

[mrich]

Great conversation and exchange of thought

[mellcdanzeisen]

Think about the PT boat in the WW2.A simple craft that was cheep, up against expensive war craft.
