Tochnyi Talks, Dronization, Counter-UAS, and the Future of Battlefield Warfare – March 23, 2025

In this in-depth conversation — the first in a hopefully recurring series of academically grounded discussions — we explore how drones are reshaping modern warfare from the ground up. The discussion dives into the tactical, operational, and strategic dimensions of “dronization,” the current state of counter-UAS (Unmanned Aerial Systems) efforts, and how military organizations are struggling to adapt.

The conversation spans over two hours and is packed with detailed insights, practical battlefield observations, and high-level doctrinal analysis. If you're serious about understanding the future of drone warfare — from ISR to FPVs to electronic warfare and force restructuring — this one’s worth your full attention.

Vincent Tourret

Research Fellow, Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique (FRS), Paris

Vincent specializes in Russian strategic culture and doctrinal development, drawing from military manuals, testimonies, and hardware analysis to understand force transformation in both theory and practice.

Federico Borsari

Leonardo Fellow, Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA), Washington, DC

Federico focuses on defense innovation, unmanned systems, and operational experimentation, with particular emphasis on lessons from Ukraine and Europe’s evolving security posture.

Erlend

Military Analyst, Tochnyi

Erlend is the moderator and coordinator of this conversation.

Artem P.

Tochnyi OSINT Contributor

Artem systematically tracks and analyzes published drone footage from the battlefield, mapping patterns in FPV use, drone intercepts, and tactical evolution.

Geschlittert

Tochnyi OSINT Contributor

Geschlittert focuses on Russian force structure, the development of UAV units, and the broader implications of mass drone deployment on the Russian and Ukrainian sides.

Joseph

Tochnyi Weekly host and news editor

This episode is longer than usual — just over two hours — but the insight builds and deepens as it goes.

Highly recommended for anyone tracking the next phase of modern warfare.
