MWI Podcast Explores Tech Arms Race in Ukraine's 3.5-Year Conflict
The Modern War Institute (MWI) Podcast, supported by an endowment from the West Point Class of 1974, has delved into the technological arms race unfolding in Ukraine. In its latest episode, the podcast explores how innovation is driving the conflict, now in its third and a half years. Joining the discussion is Sam Bendett, an adviser at CNA and a close observer of the war.
The podcast episode, titled 'The Arms Race in Ukraine', examines how both Ukrainian and Russian forces are racing to innovate, seeking a temporary edge on the battlefield. Each new technology or tactic provides a brief advantage before the other side counters it, accelerating the arms race. This dynamic has been a constant throughout the Russia Ukraine war's duration.
Bendett, a member of the Russia Studies Program at CNA, shares his insights on the topic. Despite the lack of details on the specific adviser interviewed, his expertise provides valuable context to the discussion.
The MWI Podcast's exploration of the arms race in Ukraine offers listeners a deep dive into the technological innovations shaping the conflict. As the war enters its fourth year, the pace of innovation shows no signs of slowing, making such discussions increasingly relevant.
