Kyle Peterson: 作为主持人,我介绍了乌克兰大胆的无人机袭击,并提出了这次行动对乌克兰防御能力、美国利益以及美国自身无人机战潜在弱点的影响。我认为这次袭击行动历时一年多,涉及将100多架无人机偷偷运入俄罗斯境内,并部署在俄罗斯空军基地附近。这次袭击表明现代战争确实像一场战争,技术领先至关重要。 Jillian Melcher: 我认为乌克兰深入俄罗斯境内进行打击,俄罗斯显然没有做好准备。乌克兰摧毁了俄罗斯41架战略轰炸机,价值约70亿美元,打击了俄罗斯核力量的关键部分。乌克兰正在展示它仍然有一些惊喜和战斗力。这次袭击削弱了俄罗斯进行核讹诈的能力,并遏制了俄罗斯在短期内进行巡航导弹袭击的能力。俄罗斯将不得不开始考虑为其飞机提供空中防御,这可能会使其资源更加紧张。我认为乌克兰可以通过给俄罗斯制造问题来消耗其资源,限制其攻击乌克兰的能力。 Kim Strassel: 我认为乌克兰的无人机袭击使普京不得不担心他的边境安全。乌克兰的袭击行动非常聪明和大胆,袭击针对的是俄罗斯在冲突中的最大优势,即对乌克兰的空中优势。俄罗斯现在不仅要担心边境安全,还要担心其他利益和能力。我认为乌克兰的行动发生在谈判的关键时刻,可能会改变战争的轨迹。乌克兰的行动将加强欧洲对乌克兰的支持,并促使特朗普政府认识到美国在削弱俄罗斯和乌克兰赢得这场战斗中的利益。我认为应该对俄罗斯的侵略行为处以更多制裁,并讨论利用其石油。继续支持乌克兰,削弱俄罗斯对我们进行干预的能力符合美国的利益。

Shownotes Transcript

The daring Ukrainian attack reportedly involved sneaking drones into Russian territory, far from the front lines, until they were activated to strike Vladimir Putin's parked bombers. How much might this success affect the dynamic at the front lines? And as drone warfare changes the nature of the Ukraine conflict, is America paying attention to its own possible vulnerabilities?
