Ukraine’s mid-range drones are its new ace against Russia, but many don’t arrive war-ready, pilot says

Gil Barndollar, a non-resident fellow for military analysis at the think-tank Defense Priorities, said Ukraine’s “constant, extremely fast feedback loop” benefits from minimal interference from its defense ministry.

The U.S. could also learn from that system, said Barndollar, though he cautioned that Ukraine fights on home soil with better access to its industrial base. Washington is building to fight expeditionary wars.

“Would we mimic some of their approach in the event of a major war?” Barndollar said. “Perhaps. I think we would move far faster, and perhaps accept more of a 70% solution mindset.”
