Ukrainian drone operators "defeated" U.S. forces in a major military exercise held in Germany. During the exercise, reconnaissance drones quickly located U.S. armored vehicles, after which attack drones conducted simulated "kills," effectively destroying a U.S. armored brigade. U.S. forces adapted during the two-week exercise by improving concealment, dispersion, and electronic warfare tactics. The exercise highlighted Ukraine's battlefield expertise and raised concerns that U.S. forces remain vulnerable to small drone attacks.
