Ukraine So Good at Drones NATO Plays Catch-Up, Skips Drone Lessons
KEY POINTS
- ā¢Norway leads a multinational training camp in southeastern Poland to help Ukrainian soldiers learn battlefield skills.
- ā¢Maj. John explained that Ukraine already handles drone piloting and electronic warfare training internally.
- ā¢The camp includes active drone use in drills, with Ukrainian instructors sharing operational expertise with NATO allies.
In a plot twist worthy of a Black Mirror episode, Ukraine's drone expertise has Western NATO trainers waving the white flag at Camp Jomsborg, Poland. As part of Norway-led Operation Legio, Maj. John admitted they don't dare teach drone piloting or electronic warfare since Ukraine 'already fixes that themselves.' So instead, Westerners bring leadership and battlefield tweaks while Ukrainians proudly sabotage Russian tanks from the sky with their DIY quadcopters and even 3D-printed drone tricks. Drones buzz constantly overheadānot just as student toys but as live-action villains with demolition charges! Meanwhile, nations like Estonia, Finland, and Sweden tag-team the syllabus under keen Ukrainian eyes. Apparently, when Ukraine says āhold us accountable,ā it means āWe own the drone school; you just watch.ā
