WarTalk: Michael Kofman on Why Russia Is Doing Badly in Ukraine

Military analyst Michael Kofman joins WarTalk to explain why Russia is struggling in Ukraine, focusing on the Starshield throttle that grounded Ukraine's mid-strike drones and jet-powered interceptors. He details how the speed cap of roughly 160 km/h, unstable as low as 130, caused units to lose drones and hampered strikes 50 to 300 kilometers deep. Kofman also argues buying drones means nothing without drone platoons and companies, and that the U.S. military lacks a culture of decoys.
