Understanding drone warfare today w. Kyrylo Martyniuk

Tuesday, June 2, 2026 • Duration 01:11:19

Kyrylo Martyniuk and Rasmus Basilier discuss the realities of drone warfare in Ukraine, based on his recent time on the front lines and work in defense technology.

They explore how Ukrainian forces use video interceptors to see the same feed as Russian drone pilots, the practical tactics for surviving FPV and fiber optic drone attacks while driving, and the trade-offs between shotguns and rifles for anti-drone defense. Kyrylo shares what actually works in the field — from high-speed evasion to knowing when to abandon a vehicle.

The conversation also covers broader developments in the Ukrainian army: recent reforms, the growing role of unmanned ground vehicles, AI-assisted targeting and interception systems, and the push toward greater robotization of combat tasks.

Kyrylo explains the current limitations and future potential of fiber optic drones, why they remain difficult to counter, and the engineering challenges involved in making them more reliable. He discusses how Ukrainian units are developing their own solutions on the brigade level and what lessons could be applied elsewhere.

They talk about the value of practical experience accumulated over years of adaptation, training programs for drone operators, and how European forces might better integrate real-world knowledge from Ukraine.

A grounded, detailed look at modern warfare, technology, and the human decisions shaping the conflict.

Listen to understand the tactical and technical realities that define the fighting in Ukraine today.

Someone is planning to break your defence product - can you find it out first? w. Gregory Letare

Friday, May 22, 2026 • Duration 32:54

He is a senior officer in the Swiss army’s drone and robotic division, red teaming specialist, and founder of a company focused on transformation capabilities and wargaming in defense tech.

Gregory explains how he stress-tests military technology by asking one core question: “How can the enemy defeat this?”

Drawing on lessons from the war in Ukraine and modern drone warfare, he discusses why many defense startups and traditional forces face challenges when new technology meets real battlefield conditions. He outlines a practical methodology for red teaming and wargaming, the kill chain framework, and how to identify vulnerabilities in your product before deployment.

You’ll learn:

Why brute force thinking often falls short and the importance of considering the opponent’s perspective
How to role-play as the enemy using OSINT and structured scenarios
The difference between focused red teaming and large-scale wargaming
Why elements like camouflage and counter-UAS systems are increasingly critical
Key realities about how current conflicts are unfolding

This conversation offers a clear framework for evaluating defense technology with intellectual honesty and strategic depth. Whether you work in defense tech, strategy, or are interested in the future of warfare, it provides useful insights into building more resilient solutions.

Gregory shares practical experience from someone actively working in the field.

PFV strikes as night are not happening - yet... w.Elvinas Kukys from Luna Robotics

Season 1 · Episode 4

Friday, November 7, 2025 • Duration 30:37

Takeaways (generated by AI, I'm not impressed.. ;) The episode is much better)

The introduction of drone technology has shifted the dynamics of warfare.

Night operations in drone warfare are currently limited.

There is a significant gap in night drone strike capabilities.

Elvinas's technology aims to bridge the gap in night operations.

Increasing production to supply front lines is a priority.

The conversation highlights the need for innovation in military technology.

Drones have changed how conflicts are fought, similar to past technological advancements.

The potential for detailed FPV strikes at night could change engagement strategies.

Understanding the limitations of current drone operations is crucial.

The future of warfare may heavily rely on advancements in drone technology.

Shaheds, Anti-Air and drone combat in Ukraine w. Yuri Kozik

Season 1 · Episode 3

Monday, October 20, 2025 • Duration 33:31

The conversation w. Yuri Kozik from Resist Labs explores the complexities of modern warfare strategies, particularly focusing on the use of drones and the need for diverse tactical approaches. It highlights the challenges posed by decoy drones and the implications for anti-aircraft defenses.

Takeaways

There is no single path and there is no single strategy.

Multiple paths and strategies can be used simultaneously.

Drones can be used in various ways to confuse defenses.

Decoy drones complicate the identification of real threats.

Exhausting anti-aircraft resources is a significant concern.

Defensive capabilities can be exposed through tactical maneuvers.

Understanding drone tactics is crucial for modern warfare.

The use of Gerbera drones adds complexity to air defense.

Military strategies must adapt to evolving technologies.

Effective defense requires a multifaceted approach.

Persistant ISR is a lie w. Mathieu Parr from Marble

Friday, May 15, 2026 • Duration 31:00

Persistent surveillance is no longer a future capability. It is becoming an operational necessity.

In our latest podcast conversation with the team at Marble, we explored one of the biggest gaps in maritime and Arctic security: the lack of continuous situational awareness across critical infrastructure, sea lanes, and remote operating environments.

Traditional systems can provide snapshots. Satellites pass overhead. Aircraft can be deployed when something happens. But neither creates true persistence.

Marble is approaching the problem differently.

By combining autonomous high speed drones with localized hangar infrastructure, their system is designed to deliver continuous coverage across vast maritime areas. The result is the ability to monitor up to 15,000 square kilometers per day while maintaining rapid response and autonomous redeployment.

This is not just about drones. It is about rethinking how nations, operators, and organizations protect cables, coastlines, shipping routes, and critical assets in an increasingly contested environment.

A fascinating discussion on defence innovation, autonomous systems, and the future of maritime surveillance.

How to Get Your Tech Adopted w. Krists Avots

Saturday, May 9, 2026 • Duration 35:19

Krists is an Entrepreneur in Residence at Unilab Defense — a NATO DIANA acceleration site — and the founder of a new defense tech startup building agentic soldier augmentation systems. He’s evaluated hundreds of defense startups and worked closely with both European innovation programs and Ukrainian forces on the frontline.

In this conversation, we go deep into why brilliant technology often dies in the gap between the lab and the battlefield. Krists breaks down the massive mismatch between how civilian founders think and how military end-users actually operate.

What You’ll Discover:

- The single biggest reason most defense tech startups never get traction

- How military buyers really think — long time horizons, risk, credibility, and why they still use 70s-80s era equipment

- Why Ukraine has become the ultimate testing ground for modern warfare technology

- Practical ways for founders to understand real Concept of Operations (CONOPS) and speak the military’s language

- The brutal economics of defense tech: long sales cycles, iteration speed, capital requirements, and survivability

- What’s coming next after drones — human-machine teaming, mass manufacturing, and the future battlefield

- How to actually get access to real end-users in Europe and Ukraine

If you’re building anything in defense, dual-use, deep tech, or government-adjacent spaces this episode is for you
