Great article! I hope our infantry and special operations units take heed that tactical ISR, signals, and cyber supporting efforts are table stakes for the modern battlefield.

We can make the cultural changes necessary but it’s going to require bold leadership at multiple echelons.

Great article. It did not mention Russian Electronic Warfare capabilities, though. Some contend that it presently neutralizes Ukrainian drones

Since we've sent the Ukrainians so much materiel, we should demand repayment (at the appropriate time) in drone designers.

Extremely informative and insightful. Change may hurt… unwillingness to change leads to an even worse outcome.
