I've had the opportunity to conduct research in Ukraine a few times this past year thanks to the Harvard's Belfer Center. One thing I've observed: The innovation cycles in Ukraine are lightning fast - but to be effective, especially over this summer's fighting season, it needs to be coupled with the ability to scale. Read more on The Cipher Brief
OPINION -- "The rapid innovation cycle taking place in the war in #Ukraine is changing how war is fought, reviving the efficacy of old technologies like trenches, artillery, and mines through new innovations, pushing governments and their industrial policies that will ultimately decide this conflict and those in the future," Wayne Pak, a former U.S. Army Aviation Officer, writes in today's Cipher Brief. #TheCipherBrief Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eQRhzdFp

The Importance of Forward Planning The US (thus NATO), for years, interfered in Ukraine - thus crossing Russia's stated and public red line articulated since the end of the cold war and mutually agreed with President Bill Clinton. However, after Russia annexed Crimea and began interfering in eastern Ukraine, the US and its European allies, clearly, did not ramp up their artillery manufacturing. Perhaps deliberately. But who's paying? Ukraine. The US has the capability to produce about 1,000 artillery daily. The Europeans can produce even less. The Russians: Around 10,000 in a day. That's an outrageous ratio when you decide to trigger a dictator who's itching to respond. This difference has hugely dented Ukraine's on-ground offense and defense. Around the world, one of the conclusions is: do your own military manufacturing and support planning. And it plays right into the waiting hands of the American and European military complex. India has got it absolutely right. Do your own forward planning.

Insightful article on deterrence in space from a recent #AMSP U.S. Army School of Advanced Military Studies (SAMS) graduate. Modified from his monograph, Major Alex Turpin (an Army officer and current 101st Airborne Divison, U.S. Army trooper) recommends a "stratified deterrence" (diplomatic and military roles across echelons, from interagency to military commands) and "dissuasion" ("carrot-and-stick") as possible approaches. Alex uses "Able Archer 83" as a case study and traces the theory of nuclear deterrence (from Brodie, Dolman and beyond) as a useful model.

Scenario planning is important and powerful. When we witness it unfolding in geopolitics, it can be quite unsettling. Below is a scenario for an alleged NATO exercise. I'm aware that the source is "BILD . de." The scenario concludes 30 days after "D-Day," with NATO, including the Bundeswehr, deploying significant military forces to the eastern flank. (Source: Yahoo! News) I will share the scenario description found on "X" by @Jürgen Nauditt below.

21 July 1953 The objective of CIA project AERODYNAMIC/RANTER is to utilize the broadcast time available on the CIA radio installation outside Athens, Greece, to broadcast a series of programs directed at Soviet officialdom, Soviet military forces in Ukraine, the indigenous civilian population of Ukraine, the underground movement, and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA).

Furnish evidence of outside sympathy and understanding for the Ukrainian people. 2. intensify anti-regime disaffection by encouraging resentment, bitterness, and distrust of the Soviet regime and its personalities. 3. Maintain national consciousness among Ukrainians and urge them to take pride in their culture's individuality and heritage. 4. Create dissatisfaction among Ukrainian military personnel within the Soviet armed forces stationed in the Ukraine. 5.
