Russia and Iran are using Ukraine and Israel as “battlefield laboratories” to probe at Western military vulnerabilities, experts told a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee Wednesday.
“Together, Russia and Iran are using Ukraine and the Middle East as battlefield laboratories to improve their weapons and develop techniques to overcome U.S. and allied defensive systems,” Dana Stroul, director of research at the Washington Institute, told lawmakers at a hearing on the “Despotic Duo.”
“Iran is extracting from Russia lessons in combined strike packages as well as insights into the strengths and weaknesses of Western-origin air and missile defense systems,” Stroul said in her written statement.
Haha, yes only Russia and Iran are doing this. Good guys wouldn’t behave like this…Israel definitely isn’t doing the same thing to Gaza.. Was propaganda always this lazy or is this a new development?
And the US certainly isn’t rapidly developing new done and anti drone warfare in response to battlefield analysis.
Propaganda has always been this lazy. The internet makes it easier to spot bullshit and find counter viewpoints.
Most propaganda isn’t designed to fool the critical thinker, it is designed to give moral cowards a reason not to think.
Oh wow, I like this. Good insight.
Developing better weapons doesn’t make someone a bad guy, but I don’t want the bad guys (and of course I’m picking a side, I live in the USA and I like it here) to develop better weapons. If the USA and its allies succeed while its opponents fail, that would be great!
