The ongoing war in Ukraine is revealing the outdated nature of how Western militaries are run, particularly highlighted by the rapid evolution of drone technology. UK defense minister Luke Pollard stated that NATO forces must reconsider their defense strategies and procurement processes to adapt to the quick innovation cycles of drones, which can change every few weeks. Pollard emphasized that failure to adjust could hinder the provision of necessary technology to Ukraine and compromise overall security.
Drones have shifted the tectonic plates of warfare, necessitating a complete reassessment of procurement and innovation processes within NATO militaries.
If we allow ourselves to be stuck in old-world thinking, we will not be providing the tech that Ukraine needs, we will not be providing the security that we need.
