During a recent major military exercise in Germany, Ukrainian drone units effectively took out American troops. According to reports from the American business newspaper 'The Wall Street Journal,' the superiority of the Ukrainian drones was so pronounced that disabled American vehicles had to be 'revived' multiple times to continue the exercise.

This simulation demonstrated that Ukrainian military personnel equipped with drones are capable of swiftly neutralizing the American armored brigade. This has led to the conclusion that NATO still has much to learn regarding modern warfare, as noted by various media outlets.
