#Military Technology

While Russia outmatches Ukraine in military size and industrial weight, Ukraine’s resistance has endured for nearly four years thanks to the ability to stay technologically one step ahead, building tools that replace soldiers in the most dangerous places. That edge is now being challenged as Russia adapts faster and scales wider. Which technologies may define Ukraine’s fight next year?

If Russia launched an attack on  NATO ’s eastern flank tomorrow, it could take up to 45 days for the alliance to move troops and equipment from Western Europe—a dangerous delay that European leaders now hope to fix with a sweeping new “military Schengen” plan to cut transit time to just days.

In what could become one of Europe’s largest modern fighter jet procurements, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced plans to purchase 100 French-made Dassault Rafale multirole jets, Le Figaro reported on November 17, citing France’s Élysée Palace.
