“We Should Be Learning From Them”: U.S. General Says Ukraine Is Shaping the Future of Warfare

U.S. Army General Ben Hodges says NATO has much to learn from Ukraine’s battlefield experience. He emphasized that Ukraine’s innovative use of technology—particularly affordable drones—has revolutionized modern combat strategies.

Hodges also pointed to Ukraine’s success in defending its coastline without a traditional navy and its development of a layered air defense system that merges data from missiles, drones, and aircraft as examples of battlefield ingenuity that NATO should adopt.
